Winds, Gusts Cause Outages and Damages Across Iowa
High winds disrupted power in Iowa City and surrounding areas with gusts up to 68 mph. About 1,000 customers faced outages, including 200 at Bon-Aire, while roofs and a gymnasium roof were damaged in Waverly. A plane at Des Moines Municipal Airport totalled, and a car wash roof was blown off at Tripoli. Soil conservationists credited wind erosion reductions due to conservation tillage and moist soils.
