Very Clear in Central US, Good Fire Weather. Oops, Now it is Very Dusty

UPDATED April 7 23:24 PM CST BELOW

Nothing on the news about these fires; I am just posting for record purposes.

Large, synchronized fires.

Hundreds of hotspots blinking on and off and on and off and on and off.
(Click here, they may still be present)

Winds are indicated at 10-15mph, plumes seem to bear that out.

.
.
These are not listed as prescribed burns

Crop fires will be the most likely suggested cause. I contend they are unnaturally sudden, hot and broad for field fires and unnaturally synchronized across such a large area.

I don’t know about anyone else, but this does not look natural. And why not some air quality alerts on the local news at minimum?

A very large and sudden “dust storm” just swept across Kansas today. Note the edge lined with “candy clouds”.

Speaking of clouds, I wonder what name Ari at the Weather Channel has for that stretch of clouds from Baja California to west Texas… Antenna Clouds maybe?
