Whoa, incredible! Thanks for sharing them.

Weather like this makes Twentynine Palms look like paradise.

Heh... given my previous comment... and given that I have seen the dust storms in Phoenix... OK... *remotely* like that. :-)

But still...

Allah's wrath on Americans. A follow up to the giant killer spiders that sent American troops running to mamma like little girls. Of course the Imams who told of the giant spiders sent by Allah couldn't show anyone a spider....or picture....or leg.

A dust storm? Feh! Nice postcard.

I'm sure that Dan Rather is investigating. Word from his "inside" source say that the downburst was related, somehow, to Abu Ghraib. At least that's what a recent document obtained by CBS says...

I saw a mini-version of one of these in the Arizona desert one time, rolling through a valley among the mountains along I-10 around the California border. I was coming down out of the pass and so was able to look down on this brown tide as it rolled across the field of view, completely blanketing evrything on the gorund beneath it. Pretty otherworldly.

i've seen dust storms like that in western nebraska.

after the dust storm it gets very quiet.

then come the hail storms and tornadoes.

Not good for machinery, vehicles, airplanes. Awesome.

Honey, did you get a new air filter?
