Yesterday - it arrived.
This one above is near me.
The one below is near my parents.
And then in some areas of the valley - the rains came. We didn't see one drop here, but it's early yet!
The wind knocked down the canopies at the park across the street and added a HUGE layer of dust to everything, but other than that, not much damage to report from my locale.
Here is a link to some video shot by Channel 12 News:
People are saying this is the craziest dust storm they've ever seen in Arizona. The thing was 30 miles wide and swept over the entire east valley. I am not sure where it started, but my parents dealt with it - and we dealt with it. We live about 40 miles from them.
They are A and I am B:
If you were looking down at a map, Phoenix would be in the very upper, left-hand corner.
Just crazy.
Makes me wonder if this is going to be a Monsoon Season to remember...
P.S. All pictures have been borrowed from AZCentral.com - where they were uploaded to Facebook by local residents. And the map was from Google maps.
