Laramie Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
An isolated supercell thunderstorm developed a tornado three to four miles west of Highway 30. The tornado continued an eastward track and intensified rapidly over the mainly open fields. Numerous wooden power poles were snapped along County Road 121, along with several galvanized steel utility poles, which were bent 90 degrees at the base. Grass was scoured out of the ground in a wide swath approximately one third of a mile in width near the intersection of County Road 121 and Cattle drive. The observed tornado continued east into the Laramie Range near King Mountain Road.

The wind sensor at the Laramie Airport measured a peak gust of 90 mph. The very strong winds uprooted and snapped trees, crushing homes and vehicles, downed utility poles, and ruptured a gas line in Laramie. Two dozen large trees were down in the parks and Greenhill cemetery. Power outages affected more than 2000 customers. No injuries were reported.
