Here is our West Texas "Rain"!
Keep in mind I do not live near any plowed fields. This is just blowing dirt/dust/rocks from ground that has some grass and isn't plowed at all. I am sure that visibility in areas that have lots of fresh plowed ground is close to zero. The dust is also worse west of us and north of us into the panhandle. Judging by how slow the internet is I would guess that between here and town the dust is really bad. Wireless doesn't work well in fog, heavy rain and so it seems DUST storms!
