Emergency Manager reported that part of NW Greeley county|experienced a brief power outage due to the wind. The event occurred|at 1721 this evening. Fire crews were dispatched to provide|suppression if needed. Wheatland Electric was able to repair and|restore power quickly. Power was restored around 1830. The Emergency Manager also stated I really believe that it was the rapid fall in temperature that caused the connector to break and the power line to fall. 20 MPH shouldn't have caused that. Kansas Mesonet site (TUNK1) near Tribune reported falling wind chills with the front around a 21 degree drop in 3 hours. Wind gusts at that site were gusting 20-23 mph during the time fram.
