Dust Storm over Northern Texas

High winds wreaked havoc across northern Texas on February 24, 2007. According to Dallas Morning News and Houston Chronicle, downed power lines left some 37,000 homes and businesses without electricity while gusts up to 100 kilometers (60 miles) per hour fueled grass fires and kicked up dust.
