I live north of this. I'm at house today, it's crazy windy out & videos I've seen the dust was/is still bad in that area. Looks absolutely horrible. Saying I-55 is closed from exit 52 to exit 80 northbound.

Still an ongoing situation.

Ooooo weeeee!!! That's one of those situations in which it just isn't anything you can really do. I feel sorry for each one of those folks. Those dust storms are so scary, it's like something out of a movie

I-55 in Illinois shut down for dust storm, 'large' pileup crash
As long as I’ve been alive,this is the first time I’ve heard of any dust storms in Illinois,let alone one that resulted in shutting down I-55. Usually it’s winter weather or severe thunderstorms that causes problems this time of year!Flat Earth Trucker, Snailexpress, Arctic_fox and 3 others Thank this. -

Either way this just seems too far east.mjd4277 Thanks this. -
It's mostly flat farm land all over Illinois. There's usually a breeze and sometimes stronger winds so not surprising they sometimes have dust storms. It's not for nothing Chicago is called the windy. Saw it in MO a couple of weeks ago on my way to KC. Tractors turning fields and a strong wind blowing big dust clouds across 70 with the sun setting in my eyes.
OLDSKOOLERnWV, wore out, bzinger and 4 others Thank this. -
