Weird AZ weather...AGAIN!!
All the crappy weather we had last night...tonight...this is what greeted Lynn and I on the drive home (sorry...crappy cell phone pic...while driving no less!)
A wonderful AZ haboob! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...oobtonight.jpg We made it home with about 20 seconds to spare...Now we have ZERO visibility https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif |

Re: Weird AZ weather...AGAIN!!
To tell you the truth...I don't want to see one for another 20 years! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Weird AZ weather...AGAIN!!
Yuk, I am Anti haboob.... I hope yall don't see one for another 20 years either Bruce. I had some family in Leedy, OK and remember them telling me about dust storms in years past. Sounded pretty bad.

Going to be raining here tonight and most of tomorrow. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif Therefore, I won't have any Lowes Cruise pics tonight or any show pics for Saturday. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif |

A haboob at the Iranian desert staging site is what hindered the 1979 Iranian hostage rescue mission. That one was several thousand feet high.

Re: Weird AZ weather...AGAIN!!
Wow, Bruce, that is crazy! Does that happen a lot out there? I've never seen a "haboob" before. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Weird AZ weather...AGAIN!!
Not often...and not like this! I think I've seen one other one...and I watched it on the news...as it only lasted a few minutes. This lasted over 1 1/2 hours and went from the town of Maricopa all the way past my place (more than 65 miles!)

Re: Weird AZ weather...AGAIN!!
Hey Bruce!!! I took the same picture yesterday on my way to Home Depot. Really cool looking. On the N East Valley we did not get any rain but wow was that cool.
Hopefully tomorrow night it will be nice - I will be at the Pavillians. How about you and Lynn??? |
