I happened to be driving through the area just around the time this was happening. We left Sikeston MO on I 57 at around 7 AM and drove through Effingham IL at around 11 AM. It was very windy, but there was no dust blowing at all. we might have been just far enough east of the flat prairie land to miss the dust. It was raining after that.
If you can still read the speed limit signs then good to go...
New headline:
“Drivers Show Us The Reason The Blind Don’t Drive”
Prayers to the families of the victims.
Bet the farmer who had just plowed his field feels pretty bad today.
I’ve driven the full length of I-55.
It can be treacherous all season long. Tornado like rain, snow white outs, dust storms.
You need to pull off immediately when this happens. Not keep driving like most people do.....
