New Liberty Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

March 31, 2023 - Tornado

A tornado touched down 3 miles north of Atalissa, Iowa in Cedar County, snapping power poles and large trees along its path. It caused significant damage to two homes southwest of Bennett, Iowa, and flipped over a semi along interstate 80. It also damaged several concrete block silos south of Bennett. The tornado continued to track to the northeast through a rural area, causing sporadic tree damage. The tornado entered extreme northwest Scott County about a third of a mile south of 220th St., then travelled around one mile before entering Clinton County about a half mile west of the intersection of 280th St. and 110th Ave. The tornado then dissipated about 2 miles south of Wheatland. The peak winds were estimated at 120 mph. The tornado was rated EF-2 in Cedar County, and EF-0 in Scott and Clinton Counties.

August 10, 2020 - Thunderstorm Wind

Widespread straight-line winds that produced extensive damage were reported throughout Scott County, associated with a derecho. These winds lasted around an hour in total at any one location, even though the initial line of storms moved out quickly. Damaging straight-line winds continued and were associated with the rear inflow jet. Maximum wind speeds were estimated to be 80 to 100 MPH for much of the county. These estimates were determined based off damage reports and photos submitted through social media. The peak wind speed measured at the Davenport Airport ASOS was 86 MPH before the power went out with several large tree limbs and trees blown down on the airport property, including at the NWS Weather Forecast Office in the Quad Cities. The duration of strong winds caused extensive damage or loss to most trees, powerlines, crops, and some roof damage in their path. The widespread damage also resulted in long duration power outages.
