our last dust storm..

[RV's mom]

didn't affect us as much as it did the SE valley. It is a sight to behold tho..


from the back yard, when I first saw it...

front yard/street view

they just roll on through. dusty, dirty, sometimes raining big mud raindrops, other times micro bursts flattening everything in its path.

guess I could have tinked with the photos, lightened them up some for the foreground, but somehow I like the ominous cast. It is exactly how it feels

That is crazy! What do you do run inside and hunker down? Amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing!!

exactly. but first make sure everything that can run away or flip with the wind is taken care of, and then hunker down and hope the electric stays on. today it is in excess of 112*, tomorrow worse.

ugh.

Does RV run for cover?

Does RV run for cover?

no, she stays out and grazes.

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

That is eerie looking!!

 

[terryo]

Yes, VERY eerie looking. When it's over, es everything covered with dust? Like you car etc....

 

[dmarcus]

I would not want to go thru that...

the dust creeps into the house. If we have rain, there are dusty rain splotches. The BIG storm we had in July we were pelted with big muddy raindrops. I've never been through the like. The streets for a couple of weeks after were dust colored. The gutters in some areas still are.

Didn't get us at all. WHERE IS THE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we're asking the same thing. If you look east, the rim is getting something.. .. .. and the radar from abc15 is pretty spotty - pinetop/lakeside, camp verde. Nothing for the desert heat island.

 

[Neal]

My parents were just up in Pinetop and said it rained a lot every day. In the areas where the fire was they said the ground was completley green.

That crazy, I would have freaked out! We never have anything like that here in Massachusetts.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

WOW..

 

[Turtle Guru]

WOW never seen that it is cool but scary all in the same since lol

 

[Tom]

Freaky-deaky. I guess we all have our weird weather things.

 

[RV's mom]

I just wish our freaky deaky weather things involved a little more rain.
