(Storm Damage)....It was the result of Wednesdays storm in the Winterhaven-Bard area.

IID crews continue to work on repairs. Orginally hundreds of customers were left in the dark after the storm knocked down 68 power poles. At last report, the number was down to 30 those who still needed their power restored. The County Public Works Department closed off Oicacho Road and Bard Road to allow Imperial Irrigation District to repair the damage without traffic interruptions. The District is also working to restore power at Imperial Dam. The dam is critical to water delivery in Imperial County. It is currently powered by portable generators until repairs are complete. The Dam is located about 20 miles north of Yuma.
