A powerful storm is blowing through the Great Plains and Midwest, with winds gusting to 80 mph. Numerous tornado warnings have been issued and dust storms closed part of Interstate 70 in Kansas.
A wildfire prompted Sheridan County officials to evacuate a few homes near Quinter in northwest Kansas. Emergency management director Don Koerperich did not have an estimate of how big the fire was but said “I’m glad it wasn’t near any towns.” Other fires were reported in Russell and Ellis counties.
The unusually warm temperatures on Wednesday were due in part to record high ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico, which wouldn’t have happened without global warming, said Jeff Masters, a Yale Climate Connections meteorologist who cofounded Weather Underground. Officials in Ashland, Kansas, shut down the town’s power supply for a few hours to reduce the threat of fire after multiple power poles were knocked down.
On nearby Interstate 25, more than a dozen semitrailers blew over in winds that topped 90 mph , according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.
