Several Utah and Nevada towns were inundated by tumbleweeds that blocked roads and buried houses following strong winds, in what some are dubbing ’tumblemageddon.’
Severe weather in the western U.S. brought winds of more than 60 mph which downed trees and powerlines, damaged infrastructure, and resulted in road closures. It also brought thousands of tumbleweeds, which, in some places, piled as high as 10 feet.
‘Luckily, it’s something we can handle,’ Rachel Van Cleave, the communications manager of South Jordan, Utah, told local station KSL-TV. ‘This is not our first tumblemageddon.’
South Jordan residents sprang into action following the tumbleweed takeover, cleaning up the prickly plant before city workers ultimately arrived with garbage trucks.
Another resident told the local station that he woke up to find his porch completely covered in tumbleweeds. ‘There’s nothing to do but laugh,’ he added.
