Good morning, Gillette.

Rocky Mountain Power is investigating a massive outage that left over 100,000 customers without power today across Wyoming, South Dakota, and Montana—this event also caused a fire at its Dave Johnston plant that was quickly controlled with no injuries reported.

The utility said the cause of the outage remains unknown and that further details will be released as the internal investigation continues.

The World Ballet Company will perform 'The Nutcracker' at the CAM-PLEX on Dec.

3rd as part of its national tour, giving local audiences a chance to see the classic ballet with 40 dancers from over 10 countries. The production will feature hand-painted sets and more than 150 hand-sewn costumes—highlighting its blend of traditional artistry and modern touring appeal.

The Gillette Community College District Board of Trustees met November 19 to review a draft accreditation report due Friday and plan to shift online courses from Sheridan College back to campus to keep tuition revenue local — they also approved policies on naming, ethical recruitment, and equipment spending while planning to collect student feedback on course formats and upcoming county discussions and events.

The NFIP now covers most flood insurance policies in the U.S.—if the program ended, average flood premiums could rise 64% from $934 to about $1,534 each year, which may affect homeowners and mortgage requirements even in low-risk areas like Wyoming.

The potential cost increase underscores how vital the federal subsidy is for keeping flood insurance rates lower for millions of policyholders.
