Take some pics. Is the sky dark red? I miss the storms that used to blow through. It always looked cool when the news chopper would take a shot of what was about to blow in and it looked like a wall.

I got about 5 minutes of wind and about 10 minutes where I couldn't see the mountains around my house and then it was done. Something to be said for living in PV and having mountains that block that crap out all the way around. :D :D :D

Damn thing was 1/4 mile off my tail gate coming home from the kid's soccer practice. By the time I screeched into the garage - wham!
Riverroyal: Still beats June gloom :D
This is normally a 40 mile view.

just had a distant dry thunderstorm about 40 miles east of Havasu, but was still cool to watch the lightning was going off pretty good for a while about 10pm
found a really cool video of the dust storm. Been trying to save the video to my computer but can't figure it out. Anyone know how. Here is the link to the dust storm

We had about 15 minutes of it out here in Johnson Ranch, couldn't see the flag on number one green behind my house. Then good to go. Cloudy this morning, but I doubt we get any water. Howz it going 2Driver? Got a copy of the email, sorry things not working just right, but if things change..........

We are up in Carefree.
As luck would have it the boat is outside at Randall's Trailers just off the 10 in Chandler having a swing hinge tongue put on. Most of the land around the place is fresh graded so I am guessing I have a major detail job coming this weekend. I don't even want to see it :cry:

Looks like a nice area. I am considering moving to Surprise in a few years once my daughter turns 18. Might already have a job lined up at Honeywell.

Which Honeywell, doing what? My wife runs a good piece of it.
