Dusty storms

This weeks dust storm.
Someone stole my ocean!

Me wrapped up in last years worst one (May 2007)

A trash worker, still busy

You can play games on your furniture afterwards for a LONG time

And it takes nature a long time to turn green again

    It was rather alarming! Couldn't leave the house all day!

    auch wenn du das anders siehts - ich würde das gern mal erleben - um zu wissen wie sich das anfühlt, so wie ich schon einen schneesturm und auch einen sturm am atlantik erlebt habe... aber ich hoffe für euch, daß es bald wieder besser wird!

    :yes:

    @Kaileena

    I slept through the worst part, taking naps sometimes is good :P
    I think the one in May last year was worse.


    Kann ich verstehen, Dirk :)
    So einen wirklichen in der Wueste hatte ich ja auch noch nicht.
    Ist auch halb so wild.
    Wenn halt nur das Putzen spaeter nicht waere ;)

    The sad irony is that here in summer we will often get dust storms too. Right now it isn't snowing but we have wind gusts to 56 km/h .
    I am not sure if I would trade you the dust storms for the cold and snow storms here, but sometimes the thought does cross my mind.

    Wow...that looks awful. Dust storms is one thing I hope I never have to experience...mostly because I can't even imagine the clean up!

    Grin, ShoSho, thanks ;)


    LOL, Ben, if you get duststorms in summer then I would suggest you guys are kind of screwed ;)
    No, honestly, sorry for you weather conditions!
    Right now, I wouldn't mind snow for a few days.
    But only a few ;)


    Grin, Annie, yes, the cleanup is the worst part.
    Thanks to the wonderful engineering here, it gets through the windows and through the AC system.
    Go figure.
    I will bring my carpets to the nice guys we thankfully have downstairs, wash my curtains again and try to get that sneaky stuff off of the rest of the furniture.....>:XX


    LOL, QQ - wish we could switch places next time ;)
