Dust Storm Engulfs Texas Highway Amid Tornado Warning A powerful dust storm swept across a highway in McAdoo, Texas, on Sunday, May 25, 2025, as a tornado warning was in effect. The dramatic event was captured on video by X user @1WXRoderick, showing a wall of dust reducing visibility to near zero. The National Weather Service had issued warnings for the region, predicting winds up to 70 mph, softball-sized hail, and the possibility of tornadoes. The storm caused significant disruption, though no major injuries were immediately reported. "It was like a scene from a movie," said @1WXRoderick in a brief statement. "The wind was so strong, it was hard to even see the road." The NWS confirmed the tornado warning for Cottle, Dickens, King, and Motley counties. The dust storm highlighted the unpredictable nature of severe weather and the importance of heeding warnings. The quick thinking of drivers in the area, who likely pulled over, prevented any serious accidents.
