State authorities say at least three people in two counties died in car crashes from the dust storm. In Canyon, multiple injuries were reported in an incident involving approximately 38 vehicles on Interstate 27.

At least 34 people have died in the US after violent tornadoes tore through several south-eastern states, flipping cars and flattening homes. In Kansas, a dust storm on Friday afternoon caused a crash with more than 50 vehicles, killing at least 8 people. Texas saw a similar mass pile-up.

The threat of tornadoes moved east into the Mississippi Valley and the south on Saturday, just a day after a massive storm in several central states.
