Alright, here goes. The heart of the haboob.

 

[Linderbee]

So, you're driving in a massive storm, can't see, AND you're taking pictures???

 

[azsouthendzone]

I was pulled over on a side road in the Gila River rez. Took the pic from my treo. I have a video, equally as disturbing, about 5 miles down the road, after I thought it was clear, this time parked alongside Riggs with a bunch of other cars. I'll try to get it up on youtube.

I was just messin'. The pic/camera angle makes it look as though you were on the road.

I am on the road, but not the main road. There are a bunch of paved roads to nowhere out there off Riggs/ Beltline/ 51st Ave in the reservation near the casino. I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of terrifying, but I wasn't the only idiot out there. The scariest part is that its a 2 lane road so if some idiot decides to get risky and change lanes in this then you are screwed.

 

[Linderbee]

I'm glad it wasn't me. I'd have risked it, too, fwiw.

It looks like a distaster flick.

Tell me when it isn't windy in Chicago.

 

[Mulli]

Tell me when it isn't windy in Chicago.

I think someone on here posted that it is more windy in Dallas/Ft. Worth. That might be the case, but until it gets to be 20 below and windy......

Plus, Chicago is known as the Windy City, because some from here were thought of as loudmouths.

I thought it was the after effects of Chicago Dogs.

That too. The consumption of mass quantities of beef and pork products don't help much either.

Gross.

FTFY.

Have any of you guys heard of WeatherTAP?

I just signed up for a free trial...wow, talk about a site for radar and weather and stuff...

They have a java radar that has zooming and tons of frams, current temps, satellite overlays, terrain overlays, storm tracks, warnings, etc...

I'm in heaven, but it IS $7 a month

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Damn, the lightning overlay is sweeeeeeeeeeet

I'm checking out the remnants of Erin over Oklahoma and it's so awesome

Never heard of it....but the radar maps are amazing, I don't know if I can convince myself I should spen $7/month on them though.

I already got the evil eye from my wife when I brought it up

 

[Gee!]

I admit I know nothing about weather and the radars.. But is that storm coming straight north in on there?
