Národní meteorologická služba v Lincolnu v Illinois vydala varování prachovou bouří. "Očekává se výrazně omezená viditelnost. Cestování bude nebezpečné a možná i život ohrožující," uvedla.
Massive pileup on I-55 south of Springfield, Illinois has closed the interstate for nearly 30 miles. Blowing dust off freshly plowed fields led to very low visibility#ilwx
