I am so glad some insane cigarette smoker did not ignite this fire hazard road closure of tumbleweeds
Just bought a house in West Richland and had to drive through a tumbleweed "storm" about a month ago. Not nearly this bad, but not fun at all.

Tumbleweed scratch your car badly. They contain stones, sticks, bugs, and other critters.
@LiterateHiker yup, that's why I avoided them as much as possible.
They do blow up kinda cool when you hit them, though, and the car I was driving is an older Camry we bought just to drive over and back till we move perminatly to the east side, and came prescratched.
There must have been fences that stopped them from blowing on through.
Watch the video. "Home on the range!" No fences to stop the tumbleweeds.
