Aaron Woodward with the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service told Townsquare Media that as of Sunday morning in the Cheyenne area, reports of damage from the wind were trickling in. Most of the reports were of tree limbs breaking off and that sort of thing, but he also noted that because it's Sunday morning, the reports may be coming in more slowly than would normally be the case.
