Wow.

We went through one of those dust storms on our way out to Tucson. The wind was so strong that it blew the outside rear view mirrors downward. We were dodging tumbleweeds for about 60 miles. Not much fun.

A friend on Facebook posted a picture of her car after the storm had passed and it looked like someone had tossed buckets of dust on it.

Those dust storms are intense in Phoenix.  I got caught in one only once.  It was scary because you cannot see a thing.  I thought blizzards were bad, but no, the dust storms are worse.

Dat be off da hizzook, yo!
I can't imagine being in the middle of that. We get blizzards up here every winter but no biggie, it melts.
That must be the gift that keeps on giving for months to come. Fouled up central air, pool and hot tub pumps & filters, automotive nightmares, all sorts of headaches.  :???:

I saw this when it was on tv last week.

At first I thought it was an ad for some new disaster movie!!!

Terrifying.

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.
