Oxford Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Widespread straight-line winds that produced extensive damage were reported throughout Iowa 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 60 to 80 MPH for much of the county, with areas in northern Johnson County that had wind speed estimates that were 80 MPH or higher. These estimates were determined based off damage reports and photos submitted through social media. The peak wind gust measured at the Iowa City Airport was 69 MPH before the power went out. The duration of strong winds caused extensive damage to most trees, powerlines, crops, and structures in their path. The widespread damage also resulted in long duration power outages.
