Photo: Haboob Wall of Dust

Here is another photo of the haboob wall of dust that we experienced.

This photo was taken from the 24th floor of our office building.

Look at the size of the wall of dust compared to the large mountain that the dust is rolling towards.

    It really is the most amazing sight Julie, every picture I've seen of it just spins me out! I think they've had one in Melbourne and Sydney, not here in Perth thank goodness.

    Next time one of these is headed our way, I'm calling you to see if I can get up to your office. These are great shots.

    Sharon,
    You are welcome to come up to Julie's and my office for photos anytime. The sad thing is that the only camera we had was the iPhone, not a real camera, for these photos. We need to keep an extra camera at the office for occasions such as this, which are hopeful very infrequent.

    These storms are pretty spectacular and of course they do leave a layer of dust on everything.

    Pretty amazing, Julie. What, you don't keep a camera at your office?
