- This photo was taken at 10:50 AM by TxDPS Senior Trooper Chris Ray. It is of the runway at Amarillo's Rick Husband International Airport...or at least where the runway SHOULD be. Hold on to your hats because it's only going to get worse. No travel is advised today in the Texas panhandle or south plains due to blowing dust causing low-to-zero visibility.
- A dust storm warning has been issued today for the Texas panhandle and the south plains until 10 PM. Wind speeds will reach 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph. Low-to-zero visibility is likely due to blowing dust, especially in rural and open... areas. Motorists should be aware of possible brown-outs as they travel. High-profile vehicles are also in danger of being blown over by high wands. The Texas Department of Public Safety is advising motorists not to travel today if it's not necessary. Roadways are still open across the affected area, but that could change as the storm blows through the remainder of the day. For road conditions and possible road closures due to this storm, go to www.drivetexas.org, or call 1-800-452-9292. See More
