High winds / Blowing dust in OK/TX

[Tony Laubach]

I got the thrill of driving home in that stuff... below is a link to the video I shot in what turned out to be the longest trip from AMA to DEN I've ever had thanks to these winds...

It was amazing in some areas where vegitation from the field was being blown across the highway. Very odd to drive in! I stopped in Dumas, Texas and shot for a bit over lunch as well.

Got to watch the Oklahoma City landscape rearrange itself from the window at work Saturday. Would guess at times visibility was between 1/2-1/4 mile...couldn't hardly see across the street to Walmart a couple of times. It was still a bit on the windy side when I got home...there were a few ~40mph (per mesonet data) gusts that rattled my windows nicely.
Tony, very cool shots! The tumbleweed crop may be impressive this year .
