Tornado of Sand

So Amy and I are watching the news this morning in Spanish, like we do every morning. Then we see a giant wall of dust and hear the words "Phoenix en Estados Unidos." The byline translates to "Tornado of Sand." Apparently a recent dust storm in PHX made the international news. We saw the 101 and Camelback Mountain partly obscured by dust. Once again we are glad to be missing at least part of the monsoon season.

I'm surprised that made national news. There was just this huge amount of sand that came in with rain, so now everyone's car is dirty.
