Yup

. Monsoon season is from June 15-September 30th - so you might be in a Monsoon, or a Haboob!

I like stormy weather, too...up to a point (no more Katrinas, thank you

). My son took some shots of a huge dust storm while he was out in New Mexico for some training a few years back. Those pics were cool, but nothing like the vid you posted.

Wow, that was just plain freaky. I lived in Arizona for years and never saw anything like that.

I wonder if that dust did damage to things like airplane engines, electronics, etc. and many things that might not be obvious at first. Scary!

Wow. I saw some pics online and right away I thought of you Ann! What about people driving in cars? Was it like white out conditions? any accidents? Did you guys have early warning? So scary! Totally reminds me of the Mummy movie!

I miss Arizona, those dust storms happen a lot and are normal to valley natives. While in Germany my Dad sent me a video tape of the dust storms that came during monsoon...made me home sick. Some people lost power, sky harbor had to delay flights, and a lot of people had a lot of dust to clean up. My brothers always gripe about the messes in their pools. Awesome nature!

Wow that is amazing and hard to fathom from someone coming from the midwest. How do people drive in that

Wow, I saw the video of the storm on the news last night. Scary. I just cannot even imagine all that dust cleanup. Glad everyone is okay at your house.

Wow....amazing video.....that is really freaky looking...

[QUOTE=kjc;3588724]Wow that looked like the scenes from the movie 'The Mummy' with Brendan Fraiser (sp)

Darn-I was going to say that!
I thought of you, Ann, when I saw that on the news! Looks like the owners of car washes and pool cleaning companies will be operating in the black for awhile.

Last night on the news they showed the covering of dust on everything from the storm. Amazing. Bet you have a lot to clean up, Ann. I would not even know where to start.
