Haboob in Peoria, Arizona

 Last night we had the pleasure of watching a Haboob roll in (a HUGE dust storm).  They are quite amazing actually and my photos did not do this one justice.  I was taking them from our back yard with my Droid, as Mark kept telling me to get inside.  Above is a view to the left.

 And this is a view from the right...

Okay, so now it is above us and after this pic I went inside, closed the arcadia door and the Haboob said hello in a big way.  After it left, we were blessed with an awesome loud, rolling thunderstorm with the works. At least it washed the dust away.

In light of the storm, we decided to watch the movie Twister.
Peace,
Rocki

Very appropriate end to the storm! So glad you got the rain. Our dust storms blow in and leave a mess!

Thanks Carol :) Oh typically ours do as well, especially our pool - yuck! So we were VERY thankful for the rain storm after this one!
