Sand Storms

During the month of April, we had all seasons combine on us. The winds usually remained very gusty. Windspeeds here have been clocked from 8MPH to over 110MPH. April brought with it a snow storm, HEAVY rains, hail storms, and even dust storms. The one pictured in over 30 miles wide across it's front. The picture shows not even half of it, what you see is about 5 or 6 miles from where I am standing to the far edge of the storm. Battling these harsh elements can be just as trying as the enemy!
