snapshotmiki Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Just wondering how those of you around Phoenix are doing after the dust storm! Did the storm get down to Tucson? How long was the power out? Family and puppies ok? Link to comment
Leanna1017 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 That was one strange storm. In my 31 yrs here I have seen worse winds, but never the volume of dirt that this storm dumped everywhere. At work, our parking lot had about 1/4 of an inch of fine dust when everything settled. It looked like it snowed dirt. My house got a little less, but it I have quite the mess on the screen porch to sweep up. If you want to see some great photos, check out the reader photos at www.azcentral.com One of the videos I saw was from Tucson so it looks like most of the state got hit last night. We watched our strom cell here on radar blow all the way to California. Link to comment
Annarchy Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It started in Tucson and moved across the state picking up dust as it traveled. We were driving and it was nuts. We've been denser storms but never one that was as big as this one was. The news said it was 50 miles wide. The dust is still settling in our area, everything is covered with micro-dust.

Gunplumber Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Guess AZ Ain't gonna meet the FedGov's demand for reduction in particulates. of course, Cortez complained about it back in 1500, but the King of Spain found no need to open a department of air quality in the blowing-dust desert. Obviously not as progressive as our current leadership. Link to comment
