episode_narrativeA strong low pressure system in Kansas caused winds behind a dryline to blow between 20 and 40 MPH sustained, with gusts into the 50 to 60 MPH range, bringing with them a huge cloud of dust. Operations were suspended at area airports due to the strength of the wind. Widespread incidents of wind damage and fires sparked by arcing power lines were reported across much of North Texas. Visibilities dropped as low as one mile at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport as the cloud of dust overspread the region. The dust cloud was clearly visible by satellite and was estimated to be 400 miles long, 70 miles wide, and about 18,000 feet high.
event_narrativeAt least two grass fires were fanned by strong winds associated with a strong low pressure system. Winds were between 20 and 40 MPH with gusts between 50 and 60 MPH. One fire caused 6,500 soldiers and family members to be evacuated from Fort Hood. No injuries or structual damage was reported in the fire. Another hundred people were evacuated from a grass fire in a Killeen neighborhood. The fire burned twenty-four backyard storage sheds and slightly damaged six homes. Three firefighters and two police officers were treated for smoke inhalation and minor injuries.
