Officials said the dirt storm that brought a vision near zero swept the Chicago region on Friday, which prompted the first warning of the dirt storm that was ever issued to the city.
The “Dust Wall”, which struck the southern side and other regions on the day high winds of 50 miles were expected, and as the storm system caused a deadly hurricane at least in Missouri.
The national weather service said that dust came from the south, and moves north, around 6:40 pm with winds of 60 miles per hour.
The Midway Airport said a luxury of 59 miles per hour, and the visibility was reduced to about a quarter of miles.
The phenomenon is unusual for Chicago.
The warning of the dirt storm issued by the first weather service ever in Chicago itself – although it was released on May 7, 2023, was far from the capital area.
The Chicago Office wrote at X. “Well ….. Something …”
The weather service said that the dirt storm started to retreat at 7:40 pm local time. The vision ranges still decreased but began to improve.
