This episode discusses the variables that will be coming together in the Plains to produce blowing dust today and tomorrow 4/16/24. We also touch upon dust storm safety and why it's necessary to take your foot off the break. Also, never put emergency lights on during a dust storm. We make brief mention of the " Black Blizzard" which was the world's worst dust storm in history which also occured in the Plains and in the month of April back in 1935, the date was April 14th.
