Dust Storm


At noon (Jon's time) he wrote, "Here is the reason I'm glad I didn't go out running this morning. Yesterday at this time the day was clear, bright, and climbing through 90 degrees F on the way to over 100 degrees F. Today, same time of day, it was maybe 75 degrees F on its way to a high of 85, it was very windy, and obviously not clear due to the dust. Since taking the picture its gotten a little worse, but not that much worse. Inside the building its better, but there is still a dusty haze EVERYWHERE, which makes for interesting conditions. Running in this stuff clogs up your nose and coats the inside of your mouth (and lungs?) with dust, it's not a pleasant experience." Then three hours later he sent another quick note, "Well, the percentage of dust in the air is getting worse as the day progresses, it's a little after 1500 here and pretty miserable outside. Of course, I'm not outside, so not too big a deal, but for those that are..."
