Update: The Las Vegas valley picks up the pieces after a powerful wind storm – Photos
Strong winds of a storm of dust and thunderstorms left thousands of residents without electricity and created a waste in the Las Vegas valley on the first day of July when the Mousson season arrived.
Avenue East Tropicana remains closed Wednesday morning between South Eastern avenue and South Sandhill Road.
Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., 97 breakdowns affecting 3,738 customers, according to the NV Energy website.
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, around 272 breakdowns had affected 20,485 customers, according to NV Energy spokesperson Meghin Delaney.
“These breakdowns were mainly caused by serious winds, the gusts reaching up to 70 miles per hour in certain areas – above what had been planned,” said Delaney in the press release.
The crews work to restore the power as quickly and safe as possible, according to the press release.
The update noted that at 7 p.m. Tuesday, NV Energy is “aware of nearly 50 posts that have been damaged by the wind and will have to be replaced”.
“Although our teams are working to restore energy as quickly and safe as possible, the damage is important and will take time to restore,” the statement said. “Our teams will continue to work throughout the evening and in the coming days to carry out the necessary repairs.”
Hard blows areas
Many breakdowns were located in the east and central valleys. An area around Alta Drive and Decatur Boulevard seemed to be particularly affected.
A section of Tropicana avenue was closed early Tuesday evening after eight public service posts along the street broke, which caused power outages and left certain drivers blocked in their vehicles for more than an hour.
Kendra Day brought back her Jeep Cherokee on Tuesday from her work on the band when a collection of electric lines fell on her vehicle while she was traveling East on Tropicana in East Las Vegas.
“I was on the way to the highway to go home to Henderson, but then the wind went down and went down the posts,” said Day. “I knew that the (sons) had come across me. I heard that it struck my car and I thought I was going to die. ”
The vehicle of the day was just east of Tropicana and Pecos, between two poles of public services fallen. When she called 911, she told her that she was told to stay in the vehicle in case the sons are still alive.
Day, 35, was checked my first stakeholders once she obtained permission to leave her vehicle, but said that she had had no major injury.
“I was in my car for almost two hours,” said Day. “But I’m still alive. God was on my side today. “
The SUVs of the day were a Toyota Prius, which had been motivated by Claudia London de Las Vegas. The power lines also fell on her car and, like the day, she was forced to stay inside her vehicle for an extended period.
“The wind from the south was so severe, it was not visibility,” said London. “Suddenly, I hear a big boom, but I did not know what I was struck, but it turns out that the sons who had made workforce in my roof. I saw nothing through the dust. I then saw all the power posts on Tropicana. I have never lived anything like in my life.”
