RICHLAND CENTER, Wis (Civic Media) – If you thought the sky looked a funny color on Saturday, you can thank Texas.
If you noticed a dust (or mud) like substance on your vehicle or building, you can once again thank Texas.
The National Weather Service says the storm system that brought rain and high winds to the state on Friday also brought a batch of dust kicked up from high winds in Texas.
The effect is much like the hazy air we’ve been seeing the past few years from Canadian wildfires.
The dust did raise air quality alerts but was gone by Sunday.
In addition, high winds caused storm damage to several structures and homes in southern Wisconsin Friday night into Saturday morning.

Now, we know WHY. Thanks Texas!
