I just got back from a lunchtime stroll in downtown Memphis. I noticed that every window that isn't under an overhang is coated with dirt. Not just a powder-thin dusting but dirt. It wasn't there yesterday. We had a Katrina remnant storm last night and then noticed this this morning. Since there isn't any major construction sites nearby, this dirt could only have come from Katrina. It must have sucked up a lot of it from all over the southeast and left it from the rains. It showed up after things dried up. I've never seen anything like this. Has anyone else noticed this? Just an interesting observation in relation to this tragedy.
Prayers for those having to deal with this.

All wind carries dirt, that's what causes windows to get dirtiest fastest. Lots of wind (like in Katrina)equals lots of dirt on windows.
We are in Covington. Do not notice a lot of dirt, but then who could see it for all of the leaves, limbs and other debris that blew in last night.
My backyard, in Germantown, acutally looks much worse than it did back in July a couple years ago, after "hurrican elvis" blew threw. And yes, there is much dirt all over everything. And little bitty leaves and sticks. And a new cat seems to have taken refuge under my back porch, on my table. Looked just flat worn out. Go figger.
