Dust storms

I've decided that dust storms are cool. As long as you can stay inside for them.

Inasmuch as I was impressed by the Monterey fog, the dust storms here are awfully intimidating to watch but beautiful in their own "Dust Bowl" sort of way. This particular storm blew down part of our fence and had some shingles on the neighbor's house hanging by a nail.

Funny how things like that will make a person paranoid. I made sure that the AC was off just in case the dust would clog the air system. Would it? I don't know. I did that for the same reason I remove floating beans when I set them to soak.
