DUST STORMS CAN BE DEADLY … AND NEW MEXICO COULD GET MORE THAN USUAL THIS SUMMER DUE TO DRY CONDITIONS. IT HAS A TEAM OF STATE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT EXPERTS MEETING IN LAS CRUCES ON WEDNESDAY TO COME UP WITH HOW THE TRAVELING PUBLIC … INCLUDING TRUCKERS … CAN BEST DEAL WITH THE STORMS IF THEY GET CAUGHT IN ONE.
MATT KENNICOTT WITH THE STATE D-O-T SAYS YOUR BEST BET IS TO PULL AS FAR OFF THE ROAD AS YOU CAN AND TURN OFF YOUR CAR LIGHTS AND BLINKERS. HE SAYS MOST PEOPLE TEND TO FOLLOW THE LIGHTS AHEAD OF THEM, SO GET OFF THE ROAD.
KENNICOTT SAYS THEY WANT EVERYTHING IN PLACE FOR THE PUBLIC BY THIS SPRING.
