We were working on Lindsey's house in Phoenix on the July 4th weekend. We all started to get storm warning alerts on our cell phones. Finally, we went outside to look at the sky.
The dust storm started to get a little closer so we decided it was time to go in. Before we could get to the house, 1 block away, we felt the force of the wind before the cloud of dust. Debris was flying and we grabbed Dillon off of his bike and ran for the house. As we went by our car we could see that we had left the windows cracked open. We ran in and got the keys and Dan went out and hurried and closed the windows. The car was already littered with pine needles that had blown in from the neighbor's tree! It started to rain along with the dust and the wind. It was the first rain that Phoenix had received in 177 days!
These two pictures were provided by the local news station. They are in the Scottsdale area where the storm hit first at sunset! Beautiful look at the marvels of nature!
