Quinter and its vicinity are best known among storm chasers for a series of tornadoes almost 18 years earlier, on a day I couldn’t head out due to having an evening shift. So with me, a long history of intercepting destructive bows and outflow-dominant supercells in northwestern Kansas has earned it a reputation for ridiculously severe thunderstorm winds — few manifesting more picturesque than this haboob under striated storm-cloud layers of a heavy-precip supercell with many drought-affected fields in its path. Roaring right down I-70 for many miles, the storm made that road “Haboob Highway” on this memorable evening.
