This isn't just a crappy picture. This is what it looks like trying to take a picture of a sandstorm. This one hit at about 7:30 and it's still going. It sounds like the ocean is right outside our windows. R. and I had to come inside because the sand was hurting our eyes and making our teeth gritty. It was really much lighter outside than this, but the camera seems to be focusing on the sand.
This is from the curb looking back at our house. Whoa! You can't even see it! In real life you could see across the street, but there were huge blowing clouds of sand between us and the house. It's a little bit creepy because there's thunder and lightning inside the storm too.
They had predicted that today would be the first day of the monsoon and it looks like they were right! This sandstorm should be just ahead of the rain. Yay!
