This is what we had yesterday

[GunClick Rick]

I'm glad it was over after awhile,i was in a real bad one when i worked for the county a few folks were killed in that one and the only thing that saved me was an irrigation pump over a tall cement cistern,turned it on and stuck my head under it till it was over,it created an air pocket so i could breath~ :-\We have four empty fields around our subdivison it's always dusty,but yesterday it got worse!

Pretty nasty stuff.    I see them signs up for the past several seasons . . in the fields that are not planted on account of no irrigation water available, . . . . "Congress Created Dust Bowl".   yep.

Quit whinning. That's darned near three days per week in Lubbock, Texas in the summertime. I ought to know, I grew up there. I can remember riding my bike home from the swimming pool. It closed because of the thunder and lightning. The storm came over while I was riding home and Igot hailed on. I looked like I had the chicken pox. But of course the wind came up really fierce and the dust filled the air. You have no idea what a storm is unbtil youi get caught in a mud storm. All that dust mixed with rain and hail. It's not the place to be when you only have a swimming suit and a towel and your trying to pedal like the devil to get home.

Now i know where the saying"Look what the wind blew in "came from...Look it's a muddy little devil from hail

I lived in Crane, Texas for a year. Crane is about 30 miles south of Odessa. During the worst dust storm I was in I was sitting in a car and couldn't see the hood ornament. Luckily it didn't last to long.
