Dust Storm over Colorado and Kansas

Description:
|
Winds in excess of 30 miles per hour blew across most of the midwestern United States on April 18, 2004. This true-color scene shows a large dust storm blowing from eastern Colorado into western Kansas, as a result of the strong winds, measured at near hurricane force in this region. According to news reports, the storm reduced visibility at the surface to less than a mile and contributed to a number of car accidents in the region, including a 17-car pileup near Burlington, CO. This image was acquired on April 18 by the Mode rate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA?s Terr a satellite.
