We used to have a laboratory out in west Texas. We moved it to the Houston area. We cleaned red dirt out of the equipment for years.

Some of it ended up spreading to the fort worth area, aqi of 500 first time seeing it that high here

Pretty positive these are called dirt/dust storms in the US. Haboob is an Arabic word we have a direct translation for.

[@Gideonite]

In the Midwest they are called Haboobs

@@Gideonite no, they are still Hwang Sa.
See how stupid that sounds. Using one language then changing the words tona completely and totally unrelated language for no reason at all except maybe you didn't know English already has a word and Arabic is your natural tongue ao I correct you on your noun usage.

Its Cali repellent.

Yeah the winds were bad down here our flagpole looked like a fishing pole reeling in a killer trophy. Coming from Arkansas I never seen anything like this. The cotton plains area doesn't play around.

[@robertstout260]
