Chef Report post Posted July 6, 2011 Great pics! I didn't get a chance to see it coming in. I am engulfed in it now though! Hoping for a little rain to at least settle the dust down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 6, 2011 Ahh, the wall of dust, just like the summer storms were decades ago before the ag land was paved over. The pool care companies gotta love the blowing dust for business. I remember as a kid trying to rig a sail to my bicycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted July 6, 2011 I saw one of those in Southern New Mexico as a kid, it dropped 8-10" of sand on our back yard, spent a week digging out the pig pens out back. Great photos...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger2 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 Here in Tucson we got the storm that caused all the dust. There was a constant rumble of thunder outside. Sounded like a jet flying over head. I stopped and just listened to it, thunder just wouldn't stop. It was pretty cool, never heard anything like it. One of the better storms we've had in awhile. We need some more moisture like that all over...just not all at one time like we had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
