Linton Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Multiple days of freezing fog led to rime ice accumulation on power lines. This led to 707 services and three substations loosing power in the Emmons, McIntosh and Logan County areas.
The strong winds blew down seven power poles.
Strong winds associated with a severe thunderstorm resulted in moderate damage within the city of Linton. Parts of the roof were torn off of the Linton fire hall and several trees were blown down. Reports of damage to other roofs in Linton and several power lines blown down were also received.
Wind gusts up to near 50 mph combined with falling snow and existing loose snow cover to create widespread blizzard conditions across Emmons County. The strong winds and blizzard conditions resulted in additional downed power lines and delayed the repair of existing downed power lines. The total estimated damage from this storm (January 18th through January 25th) was over one million dollars.
A wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow spread north across the local area. Precipitation eventually changed over to all snow, with up to five inches of accumulations reported by early Saturday morning. Hazardous travel conditions and continued power outages resulted.
