Way to go Phx, we're on yahoo's today news!  For those who don't know, we have been hit by two haboobs in the past 2 weeks.  Yes, haboob.  Dumb word and we're all making fun of it for sure.

The first haboob was SO much worst, we were still dealing with the aftermath, but then we got hit with another one last night.  It's so gross, just dust everywhere!!  Our cars had mini sand dunes on the top of them last time!

It's a retardly funny word for it.  After the first one, I really wish I owned a car wash.  OMG, there were lines out on the streets!! It was crazy!

It looks awful of the news. Don't forget you also got some press off that woman who felt the TSA officer up too lol I hope the sand storms are over and everyone can get cleaned up. I'm flying through Phx to get to Portland so hopefully no more shut downs!

I haven't looked at the news yet but what a funny word.  You should have taken some pics and posted them.

I'd like to see you stand outside while that thing is rolling in!  Heck NO! I got hit with it like a wall when I walked outside.  Couldn't stop coughing and couldn't breathe.  Ran inside and slammed the door for my dear life!

That's nuts!! How do you even go out or drive anywhere?! Do they shut down places or do people have to actually go to work in that?!

They happened at night. We get all our monsoons at evening time.  It was just like a bad snow storm, everyone pulled over who were driving and if you weren't driving, you were inside shacked up.  I was at my parents the first time and had to wait for it calm down before I could drive home.  Then last night, I was on my way home which it wasn't bad where I was.

Yeah, it's disgusting. You can't get rid of it.  The whole house is full of dust on the floor whoomp whoomp. Super annoying.  The whole carport has it on it as well.  Drives me insane.  I really need a blower so I can just blow that crap away and be done with it!  And my POOL...UGHHHH. It was so glorious and now I can't get that *** out of the bottom It's like mud at the bottom. Poor vaccum cleaner can't get it up, and it's brand new.  It's gross!!  DH needs to get that fixed so I can lounge out there more often!

Wow. That's crazy!!! Is it scary or just annoying?
