Scary Sand - SV650.org

This was taken by a friend of a friend of mine in Texas. My friend was ok, it had calmed a bit by the time it reached his house in San Angelo...but his friend had three windows blown out of her truck and there were a fair few trailers blown over.

I just thought this was an awesome picture and worth sharing...yes, I have permission!

Yep, saw it on the news this morning, pretty amazing pictures, but glad we don't have to live with this

Well they do say every thing is bigger in Texas, cool pic.

Been through a much smaller one of these on a bike.
We had to turn the bikes off to keep dirt from stopping up the airbox and hold our breath as the cloud of dust covered us. But only lasted a couple of minutes.

Why anyone would choose to live in a dried up desert is beyond me.

Sounds like a case of there being a sand storm and wanting to impress, so looking for a picture to pass off as their own then. Will let my friend know...he'll unload an appropriate amount of wee taking
