Turlock residents were subject to strong winds Friday, resulting in dangerous driving conditions and a power outage that left downtown in the dark for nearly two hours. The National Weather Service issued a wind advisory for the Central Valley early Friday morning, warning of northerly winds that would become stronger as the day went on, peaking in the afternoon and diminishing overnight. Turlock saw winds up to 30 mph with wind gusts as high as 44 mph.
