The Italians said that their little

Wasatch mountain canyons

today left Ogden Utah's second
city isolated without power or COM

Eyewitness reports from Ogden
said plate glass windows were blast
ed from store fronts, and trees and
telephone and power lines were
blown down throughout the city.
Trunk power and telephone cables
linking Ogden with Salt Lake City
and Pocatello, Ida, were crumpled
by debris. There were no reports
of fatalities or serious injury.
The u. S. Weather Bureau said
the winds achieved maximum We
locity of 60 to 80 miles an hour. The
storms fury apparently was con-
centrated in the 100-mile stretch
north of Salt Lake City. There was
no serious disruption of power facil-
tiles here.
Weather observers said the storm
followed the Continental Divide
from an explosive center in Arizona.
East and south heavy precipitation
was reported, with the winds pick
ing up some Of the moisture pushed
shoreward by the developing hurri-
cane in the gulf coast.
Power company officials said they
hoped to restore service in Ogden,
a city of $4,000, by nightfall. Mean
while. it was feared serious emerg-
encies might arise at hospitals and
other essential utilities. Telephone
operators said it would be mid
afternoon before communications
would be restored
All airline planes were grounded
at the Salt Lake airport, although
the winds slowed shortly after dawn.
The dispatcher said storm condi-
tions to the east were largely re-
sponSible for the suspension.
The storm apparently extended
into Montana, where heavy SHOWS
were reported Engineers said snow
ploWS were in action at many points,
the earliest in several years.
