A Lubbock DUST STORM!!

 On October 17, 2011 this is what rolled into Lubbock, Texas!!! The girls were outside playing and came running in saying, "Mom, how come the sky is all orange?" I responded saying, "Oh it's probably just the sun setting." That's what I thought until I came and looked out the window!! I quickly whisked my children back inside and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had never seen anything like this before. Luckily our home went unharmed, just dusty! When you walked in the grass after the storm a big plumb of dust would rise up. When we mowed later that week, our bag was mostly filled with dust--it was a nasty job!
This is looking from our backdoor window.

This is a video our friends took of the storm approaching.
