A dust storm loomed over a residential suburb in the U.S. Midwestern state of Illinois on Friday (May 16), as authorities warned of a fast-moving wall of dust that engulfed northern Illinois and parts of neighboring Indiana and Chicago.

It was the first time the city had seen a dust storm since May 10, 1934, which was during the first wave of the Dust Bowl. Friday's storm was carrying dust picked up from farms in central Illinois, and raced north toward the Chicago area.

The National Weather Service said it was only the second time its Chicago office ever issued a dust storm warning.
