"Las Vegas Hit by Record-Breaking Windstorm: Power Outages and Road Closures Across the Valley"

A wind storm in Las Vegas set a new record with wind gusts reaching 68 miles per hour at Harry Reid International Airport, marking the strongest March wind gusts since 1985 and tying for the 14th strongest ever reported in the area. The storm caused power outages, brought down trees and awnings, and created dusty conditions, but recent rain helped keep more dirt down and improved visibility on the roads, according to meteorologist Matt Woods from the National Weather Service in Las Vegas.
