CACHE COUNTY, Utah — More than 6,000 homes in Cache County and Weber County lost power Saturday due to powerful winds that swept through the region.

According to Rocky Mountain Power, 5,130 customers in Cache Valley were without electricity as of 8:30 p.m. The outages were mostly located in the southern portion of the valley, according to RMP's outage map.

By 9:30 p.m., about 2,000 of those had been restored.

Another outage in Logan was caused by a tree that fell onto some power lines, the city said in a Facebook post. That outage has since been restored.
