Are you guys in your area affected by the drought?
We are. It's one of their worst droughts ever. If you're thinking I said we weren't you're probably remembering one of my posts before I moved since Utah was having their wettest season on record. So I went from lots and lots of rain to nothing and drought. XD
At least the storm is gone now and it's nice and clear out. Though it is on the cold side at 50 degrees. It wouldn't be all that bad but it is still windy out. Right now the wind is about 10 mph. Not horrible but enough for the cold to cut right through you.
Ok, so on the local news channel, they were saying that those dust storms are called something like "haboobs" or something. The reporter started chuckling when she said that, saying, "I'm so childish when it comes to these things..." xDDDDD
Again, I keep forgetting. Are you guys in your area affected by the drought? I think you mentioned that you weren't... Hope good weather comes your way (for all of Texas too)!!
Yeah, it doesn't seem all that bad until you get the view with the houses and then it's all ... oh shit. It seems that its not unusual for them to get storms like this in the fall and spring out here.

I really do think I would flip out if I seen that coming my way. ._. It's amazing how much weather can vary in different parts of the country.
The last picture is pretty ominous. That's a huge difference in temperature too.
I hope you feel better soon. ^_^

Well no danger of that. Once it got crazy I stayed put. Especially since the wind about ripped the front door from my hands when I opened it once.

Pretty much. I ended up going no where last night since the wind about ripped the front door out of my hands when I opened it. So I stayed put.

Please don't die in a dust storm in Texas. If you do, Lifetime is liable to make a movie about it. *pie'd*

That sunset one is pretty awesome. o3o But I think what's really effective is when you see the scale of these things...dang, that house photo.
