    I sure hope there are no 3reefers in the path of this thing!!!!

    Take a look at this video just shot a few min ago. My hubby got caught up in this mess and it took out a 50x60' tent, two of them actually. His 25ton ac's saved the pieces of the tent from blowing away and the generator is wrapped in tent! CRAZY!!!!!!!!

    Nope, just a good old-fashioned desert dust storm. We get them on at least a weekly basis, specifically through the Washoe Valley area. Driving through them is commonplace here, even more so if you drive from here to Carson through the Valley. They can be nasty.
    Glad to hear everyone was ok Gras. When those tents start going in the wind, there's not much you can do but stay out of their path till the wind subsides. Glad everyone was safe.
