Wind Causes Power Outages Around Estes Park
ESTES PARK, Colo. (CBS4) - High winds in the foothills Thursday morning caused power outages and knocked down tree limbs near the town of Estes Park.
The town itself is unaffected, but power is out for all of the Allenspark area south of Estes Park, along Highway 72. Power was lost there at about 5 a.m.
Several crews from Estes Park Light & Power responded to the outages in Allenspark and Carriage Hills. Crews also worked to restore power around Glen Haven.
There was no estimate on when service will be restored.
At nearby Mary's Lake Campground, gusts reached 90 - 100 miles per hour, and were so strong that a truck's four windows were blown out.
