Powerful clipper triggers 1,000+ miles of wind alerts, more than 90K customers without power

An intensifying clipper is moving across the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley, packing wind gusts that could exceed 75 mph for more than 70 million people. More than 90,000 customers were without power across the region early Friday and strong winds caused significant air travel delays. The strong wind will reach the interior Northeast and New England through the day Friday. Winds will briefly die down before ramping up again Saturday night when a second winter storm moves into the Midwest.
