Haboob is Arabic for a strong wind. This is usually accompanied by severe dust. Below are two photos taken a few hours apart today. Try to find the bridge on the right hand side of the second photo. This is the view from my office on the 24th floor. The good news? It only hit 99 degrees today!

| Taken about noon. The wind was so strong you could see the dust moving in the air. The really amazing part of this, the wind is actually blowing in from the Gulf. |
 |
| This photo has almost the same perspective as the one above but was taken at about 4PM. You can barely make out the bridge on the right and the buildings across the lagoon are completely washed out. |
 |
| How much dust? When I arrived at work this morning they had just completed sweeping the garage floors. This is when I left work for the day. This is an underground, enclosed lot. |
