I am starting to think this might actually be the beginning of the end times. Plagues, murder hornets, unemployment, crazy nuts destroying everything, earthquakes, storms.
I am sure hoping that pre-millennialism is true along with the rapture. I sure don't want to be here for the tribulation.

Birth pangs, dear brother. Things going to get an awful lot worse before the rapture occurs.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostMy bad ---- not a dust storm in that sense. But we've seen this before, and the dust does, indeed, reach all across Texas, particularly settling in the area of the Gulf - Houston, Galveston, and along the coast.

Still, it would have to be low in the atmosphere, wouldn't it? How would it get up into the stratosphere without some sort of launch. I'm betting it will settle into the Atlantic long before it arrives.
ETA: Glad I got back here before you took my bet. I just read it is already in the Caribbean and heading for the US southeast. Dang!

African dust cloud will arrive in Texas this week, causing irritating symptoms for some
The Sahara dust cloud is set to arrive in Houston this week after completing a 5,000 mile journey across, and it's been a big, thick one so far.
The cloud made landfall in the Caribbean on Sunday, and it's "the thickest in decades to reach the Caribbean Sea,"
Those with respiratory problems like asthma and allergies might notice irritation after prolonged exposure outside. Young children, the elderly and pets might also notice some health effects.
This dust cloud isn't another symbol of doom in this... eventful year. The Saharan dust cloud is an annual feature of summer, and comes with some perks as well.
Particles in the air can create some stunning sunrises and sunsets, and the dust also makes it more difficult for hurricanes to form in the Atlantic.
Limit time outside if you're concerned about health effects.

I've seen these frequently in West Texas and Mexico - and when we were kids, we'd actually run INTO them, and feel the dust swirling around us.

You follow that down, and watch, and you can see the slender form of a tiny tornado beginning to develop.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Not a pleasant experience. Could have been worse if it was big as that Japanese one in the video.
