What happened in central Alabama today? Yesterday I drove my car, and it was clean, woke up this morning looking like I had travelled on all the back, dusty roads around, and like it had misted on the car to turn it into mud. Dust storm? Muddy rain last night? Light rain followed by a dust storm? Drove 30 minutes away and there were several cars parked around me that looked the same. Drove another 15 minutes, same thing. Went to a car wash, and the lady said people had been coming in all day with the same "dust" on their cars, and hers was like that when she went outside about 8am. A friend who lives 5 miles away had the same dust on her car. Did some storm kick up dust that's falling in this area? This was so strange.
