Nebraska State Patrol warns of strong winds on I-80

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The Nebraska State Patrol is warning drivers of strong winds on Interstate 80 in central Nebraska.

In a Twitter post, NSP said it has seen multiple overturned semitrailer trucks because of strong winds and blowing dust.

The blowing dust is reducing visibility for drivers in some areas of I-80.

Those in semis and other high-profile vehicles should find a safe place to park for a while, NSP said.

For safety reasons, NSP is asking semis and other drivers to not stop on the shoulder of I-80.

It is incredibly windy right now in central Nebraska along I-80.

Multiple semis have overturned in the wind and blowing dust is causing visibility issues in some areas.

Good idea to find a safe place to park for a bit if you’re in a high profile vehicle. pic.twitter.com/N4wXkSJEsf
