It's too cold and too wet to plant across the northern Plains
Why does everything seem like it’s turning into the 1930s!
When that wind whipped through E. Arizona on Sunday, I witnessed the first dust storm I’ve seen here in 68 years. Sustained 37 mph and gusts in the 50s, two days in a row.
Haboob. No. Stop it, right now.
We’ve always called it a dust storm in plain English.
We don’t need Muslim words to describe what’s happening in North America.
Besides, it sounds too much like boob.
Haboobs happen in the middle east. In this country they are simply called dust storms.
Sounds Islamic.
“Sorry I was late for work boss. I ran into a big haboob.”
“haboob.”
It was a dust storm. A Dust Storm. A DUST STORM.
Dusty Winds
Song by Marty Robbins
Dusty winds, hear them blow
Dusty winds, moanin’ low
Night and day on they go
Those dusty winds
It swept west to east across the desert coming in from the Big Bear Lake area. Tumbleweeds were blowing across the desert floor in front of it. When it hit, everything turned dark for a while.
It was quite something. We spent the next few days cleaning all the dust up.
It's a Shmita year one way or the other.
Nice haboobs….

Rare Haboob Rips Through Northern Plains

Call the EPA! These habooby critters must be saved for the children!!
This is the USA, we are not a Arabic speaking muscleman country yet.
Its Sand Storm for crying out loud!
I like Dolly Parton’s Haboobs.
Haboob?? From the inventors of’Kyiv’?
I’ve been known to send a haboob ripping after eating a bean burrito; I just didn’t know the proper term for it.
“Ha Boobs” are what trannys put in their shirt.
What? Was Biden travelling?
We don’t have “haboobs” in the USA.
(In my best “Maxwell Smart” voice): “Oh no! Not Haboob! That’s terrible! The last thing we need is a Haboob! We’re not prepared for a Haboob! By the way, Chief.....What’s a Haboob?”
