(Atlantic, Iowa) – Sustained high wind Tuesday evening, in Atlantic, caused damage to trees, property and infrastructure. According to the National Weather Service’ wind gauge at the airport, winds at around at around 6:15-p.m. went from 15-to as high as 59-miles per hour by 6:35-p.m. The winds caused multiple tree limbs to come crashing down, in one case, falling on a parked van. The wind storm also resulted in downed power and cable-TV lines. Crews from the Atlantic Street Department were working diligently Tuesday, to remove the trees from the roads.

Other storm damage was reported in Oakland, where shingles were torn-off of a roof. The Weather Service had issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for parts of northeastern Cass, northwestern Adair, parts of Audubon and Guthrie County, after the storm passed through Atlantic.
