Although we had wind-blown dust clouds in Jamestown, they weren't as bad as in Gallup yesterday.
It had been reported that gusts were as high as 70 mph at times. Visibility on roads around town were limited to a few feet.
It had been reported yesterday that we would be getting more of the same today. But, so far, it is still out and the National Weather Service says that wind will be around blowing at 15 to 20 mph today. So far, so good.
The McKinley County Sheriff's Office posted this on Facebook:
Their description of the above photo:
EXTREME ROAD CONDITIONS
Highway 491 north of Gallup: use extreme caution, headlamps, and caution lights. High winds and sandstorms are causing low visibility.
Proceed with caution and don't travel if possible.
MCSO, State Police and Navajo Police are slowing traffic between the 12-18 mile markers, near Mexican Springs.
