Blustery winds raked Central Oregon on Saturday, blowing down trees such as this one that fell in the morning on the Nicole Michelle Premier Home Décor Boutique on Newport Avenue in Bend. The wind and downed trees also took out power lines, creating scattered outages. More than 1,700 Midstate Electric Cooperative customers were without power, as were nearly 750 served by Central Electric Cooperative. Wind gusts hit 54 mph at the Bend Airport at 2:35 p.m., 51 at Redmond Airport at about 1 p.m. and 45 mph at 3:25 p.m. in La Pine, according to the National Weather Service.
