Hold your breath!

I wonder how fast it was moving...

looks like something out of a hollywood movie

tight

damn i had bad gas yesterday...........



I guess the "Butterfly Effect" is true then? Wonder what would happen if I went out and hocked a lougy then?

Anyway, those pictures are very impressive. I think I would have stayed outside for a brief moment to see it. But then I would've been right back inside boarding up the house and preparing for it.

wow.....

Saw this a few days ago. Apparently it was moving at like 60mph or something.

I imagine the people must have been shitting brick houses.

we've had smaller versions of dust storms like that here in Phoenix before... they're pretty intense.

I was in a bad sand storm like 14 years ago in the Palm Sprins area. I was like 10 yo running for the house. It was scary atleast back then..lol yo=years old

rofl, I'd have to say those guys got Pwned by a big desolate ball of crushed rock. ...and a fart, apparently

I wonder how fast it was moving...Toksin is right, according to the email it was going about 60 miles per hour. The guy who was taking the pic started to get scared and haul ass at the point where he took pic # 13.

Pretty scary if you ask me.

TS out

That's nuts!
