Mystery Dust Blamed For Power Outage

We did find one private lab in Idaho Falls that is willing to test anyone's samples if you're worried about it. But that test will cost you $250 and we were told it probably wouldn't show anything conclusive.

Fairly common occurence along the coast.

Every now and then you'd get what locals called a 'Salt Storm' and lines ranging from 4kv to 230kv would trip.

The salt can get pretty encrusted.
I used to keep my sailboat at a marina over the summer and the salt storms would leave salt stalactites and the like hanging from the rigging.

Looks like the same thing happened in the Salt Lake area.
