Macedonia Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

June 27, 2008 - Thunderstorm Wind

This is a continuation of a 5 to 7 mile wide damage path that a bow-echo thunderstorm caused across eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. In Pottawattamie county Iowa it was estimated by a NWS storm survey that winds reached 70 to 90 mph in an area from Council Bluffs to southwest of Treynor and north of Mineola. There was a concentration of tree damage across this area, which also caused house and vehicle damage. Two adults were killed and one young female adult was injured in Council Bluffs when a tree crushed the parked car they were sitting in. Two Semis were blown off the Interstate near Council Bluffs and grain storage units near Treynor sustained serious damage. In Council Bluffs damage was also noted at the City's Recreation Center, the Public Library, the traffic building and a restaurant and golf course. Damage to trees alone in the northwest part of the city amounted to $275,000. From Council Bluffs the damage swath persisted to areas south and southeast of Macedonia, though wind speeds were estimated to have weakened to 60 to 70 mph. MidAmerican Energy reported that 13,000 customers lost power from the storm in southwest Iowa, including around 11,000 in the Council Bluffs area. According to FEMA and local emergency management damage across the county came to at least $13 million.

The funnel and then eventual tornado was high-based and very narrow and was seen from people who were near Griswold, Oakland, Elliott, Treynor and Macedonia. The funnel was visible for around 20 or 25 minutes.
