We escaped out of tornado alley and thought that living in Arizona would be a breeze, but little did we know that the desert has its own enemies.
The Haboob
Its a wall of sand blowing straight towards you.
We were back in the valley going to IKEA and this is what we experienced.

We ran into IKEA and the Swedish store saved us.
OK, I don't know if you can tell, but I'm being a little sarcastic! The midwest is still way scarier, and I'm kind of mocking Tice because she literally was caught in one 2 years ago and hasn't stopped talking about her survival since!
I love Haboobs and can't wait till the next one!

Tice, I just commented on one my child is mentioned in and then read your comment, so I decided to comment here to break the trend.
Jen your comment made me laugh!!! HAHAHAHA! I only make comments on ones that I am in (sometimes when my family gets mentioned I may say something!)... it was just a deep thought by TC Jolley!!!!! HAHA!
Auto correct on my first comment from Haboob to Baboon... HAHAHAHAHA! Just noticed, and I don't even care!
