The Dustbowl

The wind here is generally very intense, sometime gusting up to 45-50 knots.  That's bad enough, as it's strong enough to blow down chain link fences with the green sniper shield attached.


Today, it's been awful.  Dust storms kicked up by the wind blotted out the entire surrounding view.  To look out, you'd never know we are ringed in by mountains here.  Even the sun was reduced to a speck, as the photo shows ...



See that little dot just left of center?  That's the sun.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to wash that dust out of my mouth.  And nose. And ears.  You get the picture.
