Until I moved to West Texas, I never thought about wind storms. We had one today. The winds picked up some time this afternoon. The temperature was in the 90s°. We could see the dust blowing.
I went home from work a little early. When I left work, the winds were from the south west. By the time I drove the 12 to 15 minutes to my house, the winds had changed to be out of the south west.
I had already fed the cats and sat down to read the newspaper. It was 5:45 PM. I looked at the clock. There was very thick red dust outside, so thick, that it was almost as dark as night. This lasted for a while, and as it dissipated, it appeared the wind came from the north. I have heard some movement of things outside. http://www.kcbd.com/story/15715382/wall-of-dust-sweeps-across-south-plains
It was too amazing!
And now, there is still wind, but less dust.
