Each year, there are the untold warnings about dust storms and white-outs
-- aptly named, given all you'd see is the whiteness of sun-lit airborne
dust. Thursday was the first day I actually experienced anything like
the brochures said, and it lasted for more than an hour. (Yes, I'm still
blowing dust out from under the down feathers.)
Seeing our neighbor went from clear skies to not being able to see
but 100 feet, and...
... two minutes later, their tent is nearly all you could see. The
RV 20 feet behind him is all but gone.
At 3:37pm, things were just starting to clear, and you start to
see the blue sky once more.
Like the tent above, this visibility went
from bad to worse fast -- these two photos were taken less than a
minute apart.
After clearing a bit, the clouds and dust reversed directions, and
came back; this was at 6pm.
