episode_narrativeStrong southwest winds developed between low pressure approaching from the northwest and high pressure to the southeast. The winds gusted as high as 62 mph at the Carbondale airport, and around 50 mph at most other locations. Peak wind gusts included 53 mph at Mount Vernon and Marion, 50 mph at Carmi, 48 mph at Cairo, and 47 mph at Harrisburg. Some minor damage was reported. The roofing of a grade school gym in Akin (in Franklin County) was damaged. A large tree was uprooted in Crainville (in Williamson County). There were some scattered power outages due to tree limbs falling on power lines. Brush fires were fanned by the strong winds. Because farmers had recently plowed up the soil, blowing dust reduced visibility in some areas. Visibility was so poor in parts of White County that the sheriff department closed one to two miles of a county road. Farmers were requested to turn on their irrigation systems to keep the dust down.
