Transit alerts fell from 55 to 19 last week. Outages eased. Road and water have held steady.

In the week of Oct 11, transit alerts ran more than twice a normal week, and 42 of the 55 landed on Sunday Oct 11. A high wind warning was out that afternoon, from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Measured from 55 counted transit alerts, 42 on Sunday.

Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

What the map says

Tap a row to see it on the map.

Areas are measured from the City and County Building in downtown Salt Lake City: within 2 miles is Downtown Salt Lake City, within 8 miles (about where I-215 runs) is that side of the valley, and beyond that is the metro. Draper and Herriman in the south and Layton and Clearfield in the north are part of the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Salt Lake City, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Areas are the cities and towns of Salt Lake and Davis counties, from the state's municipal boundary layer. Unincorporated areas (Magna, Kearns and the canyons) are not drawn.
