Thousands without power in Boulder County as wind gusts top 90 mph [View all]
The Boulder area traded a white Christmas for a windy one.
Winds held steady above 60 mph throughout the city up until Sunday evening, according to the National Weather Service, with gusts near or above 90 mph recorded in multiple foothills locations, including NCAR, Gold Hill and Rocky Flats.
The winds downed power lines and caused thousands of outages throughout Boulder and Broomfield counties, with 3,000 losing power in the Table Mesa area, 2,000 losing power Sunday afternoon in south Boulder, and another 1,500 losing power in the area of downtown Louisville.
About 1,000 were also without power over the afternoon in the area of the Broomfield Industrial Center.
