Visibility Is Down To A Mile ...

[Perplexed]

Nope! Anything past 500’ is invisible. And for what it’s worth I can’t see the windmills from my house on a clear day.

I’ve been on top of Mt. Scott twice - first time was in about 1995, and the view was magnificent. Second time was in about 2009, and I was appalled by how many wind turbines were causing a visual blot on the landscape.

Definitely orangish in color. I'd say somewhat under a mile visibility. Some place were much less and had some roads closed due to low visibility.

This tree was uprooted right in front of the courthouse here in Newkirk.

Had to just drive thru it. Flames were at the edge of the road licking at the windows.

Most of Lubbock came by my house, right down the middle of the street.

Reminds me of growing up in West Texas. My sinuses have been bothering me with a pounding headache, all day. Main reason I left that crap hole.

Yep, those are all coming down soon. All across OK.

Manford is burning to the ground.

I grew up in Cimarron County, which happened to be the epicenter of the Dust Bowl. In addition, we also had what we called the "Gritty Fifties" where there were also lots of dust storms, just not quite as bad as the Dust Bowl times. However, when I was old enough to sit on the tractor and drive it to use a "chisel implement" to break up the crust of the fields, I was out there in that dust driving that tractor, which also didn't have any kind of cab on it.

Sounds like y'all got a wee bit of similar storms.

Back in the late '60's, the wife and I were coming back to Oklahoma from California where I was stationed in the Army. We came across Arizona and New Mexico and somewhere through there we saw a dust storm ahead of us. Come to find out, the Highway Patrol had closed the highway and was sending folks back. I explained to the one officer that I grew up in the Panhandle of OK and knew all about how to drive in dust storms. He let us go on through, and when we reached the other side of the storm, the Highway Patrolman that was there sending folks back waved at us real big.
