Davis County is known for the winds originating in the mouths of the canyons between Bountiful and Ogden. Doneta Gatherum Contributing Writer This simple statement from the book East of Antelope Island explains east winds, a Davis County weather phenomenon. East winds have come from time to time ever since the people here can remember, doing much damage to trees and roofs. East winds originate in the mouths of the canyons from Bountiful to Ogden when the barometric pressure becomes very high over Wyoming or very low over Nevada or Western Utah. The first sign of an East wind is a low hanging white cloud against the mountains.

COMES THE WIND: Clouds develop along the tops of the mountains, portend'ng an easterly wind There are numerous stories, beginning with the pioneers and continuing through present times concerning the damage these winds have caused WATCH OUT! HERE lowing true folk tales. Probably the first pioneer account of an East wind was written by Daniel A. Miller telling of his experience in Farmington in 1848. The first night we arrived there was a heavy east wind! To secure property, the settlers would put stout poles across their roofs; then fasten log chains to each end of the poles and to these chains, 'they attached large barrels of molasses, boxes and tubs filled with stones. A tragic story from Farmington tells about a February 864 East Wind. John Rigby lost his wife, Elizabeth and a small son, John when they were blown up against a fence an East wind. by They froze to death.' Levi S. Heywood, a Bountiful and Layton businessman, described the Oct. 20, 1906 East wind using a few words, East winds increased all night until daylight. Board and roof flying all about, part of our shed roof is gone, stable and outhouse gone. New Bank Building (First National Bank in Layton) roof and fire walls falling, wind blows harder all forenoon, canning factory roof gone. Boiler room to roller mill blows down.

Get home (Bountiful) about 4 p.m. Windmill and bam both blown down and cow dead, but all the folks are safe. Just after the Farmington elementary school was completed in 1911, an East wind lifted its roof off and overturned a train. A two block strip of poplar trees were uprooted. Ida Smith White was one of the first telephone operators in Kaysville Before her death she recalled that an East wind came up early one evening and broke off an awning in front of the Sheffields store which housed the telephone office. White and another young telephone operator were trapped inside the store. All phone lines were down so they couldnt call for help. The girls wrapped themselves in quilts and stood behind a counter in the store all night to protect themselves from flying glass. During the night, the kept up their strength by eating cheese and crackers from the store inventory. By morning the wind had stopped enough for men to board up the damaged store front. No one knew the girls were inside. The telephone operators called for help through cracks in the boards. Finally two men walking by the store heard their cries. 1 could let others build hangers, too.
