They have gates they can shut on the freeway on- ramps.,for this reason. Its pretty much like a snowstorm,it shuts everything down,
Wow, sophisticated.
I’ve never seen a gate on an on ramp. I’ve been here for decades.
They have them in Deming NM.
Ueah, we got them in pheonix all tje time. Also got them.in vegas.
I was happy to see it come. I love storms and this was the first real one I have gotten at my home this summer. Now I say that having not yet walked outside to assess the damage.
Also, can I just say I am ecstatic that I didnt hear anyone call it a damn haboob yesterday
My somali coworkers bust out laughing if someone calls any US weather phenomenon an arabic word (someone called a hurricane a monsoon, basically the name for cyclones in the Arab world, and they thought it was the funniest thing ever). They recognize that the US is it's own distinct nation and culture. I'm 90% sure they are the tiny minority though.
You like it? You are weird. LOL
I live in a desert. I dont know a single desert dwelling Arizonan that doesn't enjoy the rain.
Now to be clear usually behind the duststorm is the rain.
Amen. I live in the NW b4 and no, rain is no good for me.
We get them every year during monsoon season.
Thanks.
It was a good one in Gilbert
It looks like the movie, "Mummy"
When I lived there from 93 to 95 that was normal and yes that is exactly what it looked like.
Oh wow. Thanks.
it would normaly bring some rain also so everything would be covered with a sandy mud afterwards. Normaly it would only last a couple of hours then be gone.
I know about the sandstorms in Beijing and Sahara. I didn't know it happens here. Thanks.
