The transport of very strong winds aloft combined with a anomalously large pressure gradient produced high winds across much of southeast Wyoming.  The high winds, which gusted up to 85 mph, caused property damage, power outages, and numerous blowovers of semis on Interstates 80 and 25.  WYDOT officials closed these interstates for several hours to clear the accidents, which closed both directions of travel.  A Wyoming state trooper was struck and injured while seated in their patrol car by another high wind related crash.
