CSP: Colorado HWY 50 Closes at Mile Post 420 Due to 'Smoke Devil'

On Wednesday, ahead of a substantial weekend snowstorm, Colorado State Patrol warned drivers about a different kind of natural event taking place on Highway 50, near milepost 420. Wait, we have a milepost 420?
The large grass fire (I know) was burning in Bent County between Las Animas and Hasty. Shortly after 11 a.m., authorities closed Highway 50 between milepost 408 and 410, due to low visibility from the smoke, but later extended the closure to 420.

By 1 p.m., local volunteer firefighters got the blaze under control, and the highway has since reopened. Colorado State Patrol shared a video of the 'smoke dirt devil' that formed on the side of the road, below.
