Description

here is just a small part of the dust storm we drove thought. I was going to show how it looked in a town but guess I forgot to dump it into the folder of photos I planning or may upload. Got so many I lose track of. anyway The winds is about 50 to 60 mph and may be higher at times and diff places. We got out the car at this one place and I was caught off guard with a gust of wind; that one was highter than 60 mph. We saw a dust devil too and we had to drive thought it I tried to get a shot of it but it did not come out. Must be hard on car paint and house paint too. i see why now some of the houses have the paint off the wood; got sand blasted I guess. any way this was going on before the snow storm. Remember too all this is new to me I never saw anything like this and I live in a land that is flat as a pancake. Rarely snow and that be at night time so it hard to photo. So all this dust storms ; mountians; snow is new to me. I like a kid in a candy store that never seen so much candy in his life. yes I saw Mountians before but it rare and in a dust storm and snow storm is a wonder to me for I never saw it. Most of you see it and it old hat so please bear with me and my child like looking at this and my snow images too. thanks for looking and comments and votes the sky was gray for the dust was in the air. Must be bad on people with bad lungs or they may get bad lungs from breathing this in.
