Local Weather History For March 24th...
1962 (23rd-24th): A severe dust storm dropped visibility to near zero over much of West Texas thanks to intense westerly
wind gusts between 60 and 85 mph. The KLVT radio station in Levelland recorded the highest gust in the state during this
event at 85 mph. Damage was confined mostly to signs, roofs, utility lines, and fences, however cotton trailers were
overturned and damaged at Seminole. Big Spring reported gusts to 78 mph which was the strongest dust storm there since
1955. The dust was swept deep into South Texas.
