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!

We made it home with about 20 seconds to spare...Now we have ZERO visibility

Yes it is...they said it was the biggest one they'd seen in 20 years!

A haboob is a dust storm (and is your word of the day

)

Wow, something I've never seen!

**Xplantdad** · #7 09-12-2008, 08:38 AM

To tell you the truth...I don't want to see one for another 20 years!

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.

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???
