Jackson Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Thunderstorm outflow wind descended the east slopes of the Teton Range and generated a swath of damage from near Wilson north along the Moose-Wilson Road and through Grand Teton National Park. The damage began near Wilson around 1645MST and spread north until shortly after 1700MST. Downed trees damaged power lines, crushed parked vehicles, made roads impassable, and even stranded park visitors on the Signal Mountain Summit Road. Just under 1000 customers were impacted by power outages due to the downed power lines, including park employee housing at Beaver Creek. In all, over 150 trees were cleared and all park visitors were rescued by 2200MST.
Episodes
An upper level disturbance crossed eastern Idaho and northwest Wyoming during the afternoon and initiated the development of severe thunderstorms. The thunderstorms generated gusty outflow wind and toppled trees in Teton County and both Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. The downed trees caused power outages, smashed vehicles, and stranded motorists on area roads.
A line of thunderstorms crested the Teton Range and produced wind gusts strong enough to down several trees and power lines in Teton County, including Grand Teton National Park.
Lightning struck a climber on Grand Teton prompting a search and rescue from National Park Service officials. The victim was able to climb down under their own power.
