episode_narrativeStrong winds caused blowing dust and reduced visibilities to near zero in spots on interstate 84 between Boardman and Echo. Some vehicles were pulling off the road. Traffic slowed to 25 MPH on the interstate due to the reduced visibility and tumbleweeds blowing across the road. In addition, on highway 207 near Hermiston visibility was reduced to near zero due to blowing dust. The extremely low visibility contributed to a non-injury collision near the Boardman Bombing Range.
