Crazy ass weather

a microburst hit my house a few years back and lifted the roof off.. it was pretty intense lol

 

meh.. its just dirt and occasional branches or palm fronds.

 

Stupid question but do your cars/truck's paint take a beating from all that sand?

 

i dont wash my truck regardless of what happens.. so i dunno, probably nothing more than small scratches and stuff

 

they actually arent as bad as they look lol. i dont know about last night cause i slept through it all lol

 

driving in it is about the equivalent to a thick brown fog

 

yeah dude i remember like 8-10 years ago literally being scared for my life from all the lightening and thunder and stuff. and as a kid i was never really scared of anything. and these stormes made me shit basketballs

nope. i have never noticed it

 

haha i hope you cleaned you underwear.. i was at home when my roof was torn up and i was sitting in my room and it sounded like a tree fell on the roof so i took the ladder and checked it out and there was a 12'x12' section of my roof that lifted out and was flipped over. and since it was still storming for the next few weeks the ins wouldnt send anyone out to fix it till they had clear weather which makes sense but it kept raining and filled the attic with water and the ceiling eventually caved in and we had a 6'x10' hole and the next week we had a new 4'x4' hole a few feet next to it.. that sucked so bad lol

 

That whole thing started south of Tucson. Killer wind and rain. It picks up all the dirt from Coolidge/Eloy area and blankets everything. As I was coming home from work towards NW Tucson I could see the dust clouds picking up. Amazing stuff and amazing photos.

 

Got a bunch of pics last night. We were caught in it bringing In groceries. walked out of Walmart and it was still ar away. By the time we got home, which is less than a mile away, it was right on top of us. You could see It rolling in quick. before I could say, let's go, it hit.

 

I was in class when it hit. My black truck was completely brown when I got out.
Pretty sure my perfect paint is totally effed.

 

i bet you 5 bucks its fine just when you wash it be careful and dont scratch the paint when washing

 

yeah just hose it off, its just covered in a fine dust

 

The dust storms usually just make a mess of everything- now the hail we had last October- thhhhhaaaaatttt destroyed vehicles.

 

lol yeah... that was some intense shit..


for anyone that hasnt seen footage of that storm.

dam work comps

 

that was insane!

 

x2


holy crap!!!!!


i'd hate to see the damage bill from that storm!!!

huge hail storm hit denver couple years back, sparked a couple tornadoes with sheets of hail blanketing denver metro causing over a billion (?) in damage....you still see cars driving around looking like golf balls with the dimples in the metal

 

My sister lives just outside Stanfield & some of the dust storms I've seen there are brutal, guess I should get used to it seeing how I'm prolly moving there & hopefully the AZ crew will welcome me, I've raised enough hell in SoCal . Shit seems like its just a few of us in SD that even offroad at all anymore, Fiesta island, meet & greets, & burrito runs are boring as fuck... They all talk about "mobbing" but no one does shit but talk, I'm not a "mobber" But any fool can lean on the skinny pedal, but to each their own I reckon.... see ya'll soon....

 

You can't tell, but there were 50 MPH sustained winds and gusts over 60 MPH. This pic was less than 5 minutes after the wall of dirt rolled over our house. You feel the grit in the air, but it's not truly like a sandblaster. It just gets in your eyes and clothes and is annoying afterwards.
