Major Wind Storm in Idaho / May 12 2009

Winds of 35-45mph with gusts to 70mph caused widespread damage and zero visibilities along Interstate 15 from Roberts,ID southward into Idaho Falls, ID. The video shows myself driving Highway 48 from Rigby to Roberts, Idaho. Once I reached Roberts,ID there were very high winds and low visibilities along with walls of dust being blown up from freshly tilled farms. Currently at 10:30pm on Tuesday there are widspread power outages and many Local Tv stations had to cancel there show due to electrical problems. Video By Gerrit Gulden of http://www.severeidaho.com
