Video Description

What looks more like a scene out of the dust bowl from the early 1930s, western Nebraska was hit hard today with blowing dust that made it impossible to drive at times.

In this footage from southwestern Nebraska just north of McCook, NE in Frontier County, winds were gusting up to 60 miles per hour and the visibility at times was pretty much a brown out and made it difficult if not impossible to drive.

Video shows various clips along highway 83 between Curtis, NE and McCook, NE of the dust storm.
