    No, i did not get any pics, but when i went to check on my truck that was on the Sub-4th level parking, my windows were covered in dust and the air down there was so thick with it that it felt like i was at some '90's rave with smoke generators!

    we used to have intense monsoons and dust storms like this years ago but id say the past 10 years have been pretty lame and not alot of activity. like the weather people had the great idea of having an actual "start date" for the the monsoon which is not accurate because monsoon season used to start when the temps humidity and pressures reached a certain level

    EDIT i used to be that the monsoon started when the dewpoint was 55 or higher for 3 consecutive days

    Usually followed up by rain so all the dirt is stuck on everything.

    If sand is moving in the wind it can scuff up a few things, micobursts can pick up sheds and throw them around but nothing like tornados.
