This is the view of the palm trees in the backyard at 10:00 tonight. The weather we experienced is what they call a monsoon here in Arizona. This was the tail end of it. We did have some rain, but what you are seeing is dust. Those are not rain drops that the flash is reflecting off... just dust. Actually...I will call it dirt. It rolled in after dark where we live, but we are seeing some pictures on the news of what it looked like in other parts of the city before the sun went down. I have never seen anything like this before. The pool is filled with it. In fact, I think I am seeing it in the air inside the house. It looks very eerie outside. They said on the news that this monsoon would hit the national news channels by morning.
So, watch for it. The pictures are impressive.
What a weird phenomenon and name, haboob, for that storm. Mark learned that haboob is an Arabic word for wind.
