            A haboob along an outflow boundary from
            storms to the west of Roswell caused blowing
            dust and extremely low visibility on U.S.
            285 south of Roswell. The low visibility
            from the blowing dust resulted in two
            pileups on the U.S. Highway. one at Ojibwa
            Road and U.S. 285 and the other at Orchard
            Park and U.S. 285. Pictures shared from the
            Fire Chief of the Dexter Fire Department
            show several stalled vehicles and one
            extremely damaged car on the passenger side
            due to the pileup. The highway was closed by
            multiple agencies due to the pileups and the
            low visibility from the blowing dust.
