high wind warning

from weather.com today....

WESTERLY WINDS BETWEEN 35 AND 45 MPH... WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 60 MPH... WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING BELOW 30 MPH EARLY THIS EVENING. UNTIL THEN... AREAS OF BLOWING DUST WILL BE CAPABLE OF REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO A MILE OR LESS AT TIMES... ESPECIALLY NEAR OPEN FIELDS AND CONSTRUCTION AREAS.

You wouldn't believe this dust storm even if you saw it with your own eyes. The whole city is brown. There's dust in my ears, eyes and yes, my teeth. sick. It is extremely difficult to open doors and hilarious to try to walk around outside. You literally get blown away. I just had to share. Sorry, but it can't be captured in a photo... you'll just have to imagine. What a day!

Hey Elizabeth! I found you and Mark's blog through someone else and saw that yall are/were living in Lubbock! We are in Midland, not too far (in west texas terms!) - the wind has been HORRIBLE. Just wanted to say hi!
