Yesterday we had a bad dust storm here in the Phoenix area. In the 18+ years that I have lived here (my goodness, has it been that long?), I have never, and I mean never, seen a dust storm like what I saw yesterday. Usually, there is a wall of dust that comes through and then we get some rain. Yesterday it wasn't like that. This was a wild storm, with dust blowing everywhere where you looked. As I have already said, I have never been in something like this. Driving home from work at 20 miles an hour once I left the freeway, it took me almost an hour to drive 26 miles!
The only upside of the whole storm was that not only did we get rain after the dust blew through, it POURED! I am still in awe over what I saw yesterday and the photos below document it all...
What a great post. Thank you for sharing. It's nice to learn about "dust" storms.
