Wind gusts largely between 50 and 60 mph were noted on the 6th, with winds in South Lake Tahoe gusting as high as 64 mph.

Reported by: Mesonet

Wind gusts of 60 to 79 mph were recorded on the 6th, with 79 mph measured at the Doyle RAWS near highway 395. The high winds caused 2 semi trucks to overturn on highway 395 between Susanville and Janesville, with visibility in that area dropping to less than 1/2 mile at times due to blowing dust. Also, a 2 foot diameter tree in Graeagle fell over and split an outbuilding in two. Finally, an aerial survey by the U.S. Forest Service estimated that over 71K trees were broken or blown over, mostly in western Lassen County but with some of that number in adjacent counties to the west and southwest. Wind directions were atypical (south to southeast) for the magnitude of the winds and this likely boosted the number of downed trees.
