Dense fog, combined with smoke, contributed to a 13 vehicle pileup on Interstate 10 near Grand Bay. Light fog was locally enhanced by smoke, resulting in very low visibilities. When traffic abrubtly encountered the sharply lower visibilities, the motorists began suddenly slamming on their brakes, and this resulting in a chain reaction pileup. A dozen people were injured, but none of the injuries were life threatening.

What these are

Dense Fog: Fog reducing visibility to a quarter mile or less, filed where it caused accidents or disruption.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
