AZ DUST STORM 7-5-2011 The windstorm that took Valley residents by surprise Tuesday around sunset was a
rare monster that reached theatrical proportions. It spawned a 100-150 mile
plume of dust more than 5000 feet high, moving at 50-60- mph from NW Tucson
along Interstate 10 throughout the Valley before petering out in Yavapai County.
These pictures were copied from the Web site of the Az. Rep.

Mother Nature can be violent and destructive at times, but she can also be beautiful. Storm of 8-17-2000 took down this series of light poles.
And the lovely sunrise was taken on 12-16-2010 at Viewpoint Lake, in Sun City.
