It has been a dangerous day to be on the roads across West Texas and into the Panhandle as winds gusting up to 84 mph have led to brownouts in numerous locations. Even inside the City of Lubbock and different areas of the Panhandle have seen wind damage to some buildings and trees.

Strong winds in the Texas Panhandle are being blamed for several car crashes and downed power lines. Gusts are blowing faster than 80 miles per hour in some places. The dust kicked up by the winds are expected to reach North Texas.
