If you are new to Arizona you might of thought yesterday was the end of the world. The 60 mile wide and 5000 foot high dustball blew through around 7 pm at 60mph. I love the summer "monsoon here". A big 10 minute dump of rain followed after the dust. The temp @ 7 pm was 106, the temp at 7:30 was 82 and perfect cigar weather. I lit up a EPC 2011 short run and had a great night.

I thought I read it was only 30 miles? :scratchhe

Still...rather impressive.

One news station said 10000 feet high, another said 5000. Either way it was a big one. Everything here is covered in dirt. There is still a ton of dirt in the air. I can't see the mountain across from my office.
