So uh what’s up with the weird weather? At least for me we had several tornadoes and severe storms and personally my allergies and inner ear pressure has been giving me problems.

Then yesterday I find out about this.

The Sahara dust storm has reached the US mainland. Here's what it looks like.

A huge plume of dust and sand, blown by the wind from the Sahara Desert, has finally reached the U.S. mainland.

It really hit the southeast over the weekend. Anyone notice?

read about the prediction last week I think. between that, the locust in India and the plaque going on right now, maybe it's a sign we should pack it up...

Nothing unusual about the dust storms coming from the desert. Happens yearly tho Im not sure if its worse now or media just blowing this stuff out of proportions because of 2020.

Dust is now apparently weather. I guess meteorologists are job insecure these days.

We get sunsets like this when there's a dust storm (and it's not super duper hazy)

Nice and sunny in AZ. Shame about the Covid though otherwise i would be outside.

You can still go outside and should. Just wear a mask.

Yeah I read an article on NBC and the whole thing was about Coronavirus and dunking on the south. The media can’t help themselves.

Its a yearly thing that my allergies kick my ass and make me dread going outside so I find it noteworthy.

Also I’ve been in a plane in the Sahara and there is always sand in the air over there making for very some bumpy flights.

Yes! We’ve had some amazing sunsets as of late. I think the sand particles do something to the light.
