Deadly Illinois Dust Storm Causes Massive Traffic Pileup.

Climate models show that the US will likely see more dust storms as rising temperatures dry out the ground and rains fall less frequently. The National Weather Service office in Springfield, Illinois, issued a blowing-dust warning Monday for the first time ever after a blinding dust storm sprang up south of Springfield, Illinois, causing a deadly highway pileup. The crashes killed at least six people and injured dozens Monday morning. The horrific crashes involved 40 to 60 passenger cars and multiple tractor-trailers, two of which caught fire.
