Sand Storms

The weather was so hot today it felt like I was walking in an oven. When the wind blew there was sometimes a cool stream that was in the midst of a hot whirlwind. Just for that slightly cooler breeze it was bearable for that minute.

Tonite the wind is howling and rattling anything not secured. It sounded like men were outside unloading a bunch of scrap metal from a truck, but then I realized it was late at night and looked outside to see what they were doing and saw it was a sand storm blowing everything up.

If you look at the map below that is the wind and sand I think. It says tomorrow should be clear. I hope so.
