9:23 AM: Thanks to everyone who’s sent photos from the aftermath of this morning’s burst of wind. First, the strong wind was relatively brief but brought down trees and limbs. The photo above is from 41st/Thistle, sent by Guillaume Wiatr. And Bill Schrier in Admiral reports a downed tree limbs block SW Holgate street 4500 block and 46th SW at SW Holgate:
Next photo is from an anonymous reader, along 42nd between Juneau & Findlay.
No injuries or major power outages reported so far. There’s been no wind alert, either, but the forecast for Tuesday night warns of gusts above 40 mph.
ADDED 11:09 AM: This photo was just tweeted from the same stretch of 42nd SW shown above:
Also, as noted in this comment, there’s an unmapped power outage several blocks east of there along 37th SW. RB also tells us via email that the neighborhood is on an “old 4KV feeder” that SCL has confirmed won’t show up on the outage map – and they’ve been pushing for an upgrade “for years.” Meantime, Waikikigirl sent this photo from North Shorewood:
She reports, “Huge tree down on 26th Ave SW Southbound between 110th and 114th.”
ADDED 3:51 PM: From L’Nayim:
Dog owners should take note that a huge tree took out a portion of the fence at Westcrest dog park.
9:40 PM: Update from 41st and Thistle – the street’s been cleared by city crews working into the evening. Also of note, Susan Romanenghi sent this photo of a downed tree across the Lincoln Park north path:
That was at midday; we don’t know if it’s since been cleared.
