High winds cause power outages in Rust Belt, fuel fires in Nebraska
Hundreds of thousands of people were left without power Saturday after high winds raked eastward from the Great Lakes region, leaving trees down and substantial property damage in their wake. Nearly 450,000 customers were still affected by midafternoon in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks outages nationwide. High winds fueled wildfires across a broad swath of Nebraska’s range and grassland, causing one death in Arthur County, officials said. What state officials have dubbed the Morrill County fire has burned at least 735 square miles across four counties since Thursday. The strong winds have kept firefighters from containing any of the fires, the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency said.
