Thursday, Dec. 1, saw some of the fiercest winds in Utah history. Topping 100 mph at times, these winds overturned at least 26 semi-trucks and caused more than $3.5 million in infrastructure damage, prompting Davis County to issue a disaster declaration and close schools. High winds knocked out power to approximately 50,000 homes, downed trees, and shattered windows. Cars were crushed and an entire wall of a new dormitory construction at Weber State University collapsed. The level of damage to individual homes is hard to quantify, but structural damage is undoubtedly widespread.
