Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon reports residents of Atlantic may have noticed an unusual amount of thick dust in town late this morning. The dust is being blown-in thanks to northwest winds gusting up to 30 mph. The dust is coming from the corn pile at the ethanol plant. Anything south of there can expect to see the dust continue until crews at the plant have a chance to water down the source.
