Last night's dust storm over New Mexico continued to rage through the night, and sunrise shows it has reached Louisiana, Arkansas, and other states to the north of them. (See screenshot - dust storm is highlighted with red dots.)
This is a follow up to yesterday's toot/post: https://universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/114187160615114653

Dust storm and many wind driven fires in the southwest US. Same song, 22nd verse.
One fire is about a half hour drive from me:
https://app.watchduty.org/i/44174
"Emergency personnel were juggling road closures due to dust storms and high winds—San Augustin Pass, just east of Las Cruces, reported a gust at 93 mph.
US Highway 54 was briefly closed from the southern Otero County line near El Paso to the northern Otero County and Lincoln County lines due to high winds, blowing dust and vehicle wrecks. Crews could be heard over the radio leaving an accident on Highway 54 to head towards the Mayhill-adjacent fire.
The Otero County Electric Cooperative (OCEC) reported dozens of outages affecting thousands of customers from Timberon to Carrizozo. Line crews are working on restoring power to the affected areas."

Okay, these people should NOT BE DRIVING in a zero visibility dust storm. This is how you get massive pileups. #duststorm #dust #NMwx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3cz8xPYBfo

Hmm, apparently my bot was not lying about the name of that Texas city. Which was duly hashtagged. Hoping that is not leading people astray. 
Stay safe, everyone! #TXwx #duststorm

Blinding dust storms in Kansas and NW Texas caused several of the fatalities on Friday.
The scant rain that we received in SW Iowa left a residue of the reddish dust from those areas hundreds of miles away.
