Chaos in Iowa Today! Brutal Snow Storm Causing Many Collision Pileup in Kansas
Blizzard conditions are causing issues on Iowa’s roadways Wednesday and travel is not advised in part of the state. The snow and strong winds are reducing visibility and making roads slippery. The Iowa Department of Transportation is reporting multiple crashes as the winter storm works its way across the state. The DOT 511ia.org road conditions map shows travel is not advised in the western half of the state as of 10:30 a.m. Lt. Nathan Ludwig of the Iowa State Patrol is urging drivers to take the “travel is not advised” warnings from the DOT seriously, especially on the stretch of I-35 from Ames to Ankeny. There have been multiple crashes, many involving semis, in the area and the road conditions are so bad the DOT has determined the route is impassable. High winds accompanying a late-winter storm that brought light snow left thousands without electrical power Wednesday morning in northeast Kansas. As of 4:50 a.m., power outages were affecting 2,640 homes and businesses in the Lawrence area, 920 in the Topeka area and more than 61,000 of the customers the electrical utility Evergy serves in Kansas and Missouri, Evergy reported on an online outage map it maintains.
