SALT LAKE CITY — A wind advisory for Friday is in effect for parts of the Wasatch Front. Winds are gusting up to 50 mph today with reports of trees down in parts of northern Utah.

Northern Utah and eastern Box Elder County are under a wind advisory until 5 p.m. Friday.

 

The National Weather Service said you want to play it safe on the roads, especially if you drive a high-profile vehicle.

Listeners have been sending in photos of trees completely uprooted by the strong gusts. Right now it looks like Sandy is one of the hardest-hit areas.

Michele Meiners sent in the photo below, taken in the Hidden Valley area of Sandy.

Power outages have been fluctuating but it looks like Rocky Mountain Power is doing its best to keep up.

If you have storm damage, you can email photos to us at news@ksl.com.
