1970: Sustained westerly winds of 40-66 mph whipped up one of the worst dust storms in many years over West Texas this
afternoon. The most severe conditions were felt in the High Plains, Low Rolling Plains, Trans-Pecos and Edwards Plateau. The visibility was reduced to less than 1/8 of a mile over large areas. The worst damage however was concentrated well southwest of the High Plains in and around El Paso. |
