Haboob! Given drought conditions and generally arid air masses, the Plains have been somewhat quiet this month when it comes to tornadoes. But on the flip side, conditions are ripe for dust storms — a.k.a. haboobs. One ripped across parts of Colorado and Kansas on Wednesday, pushed along by severe storms.
I can honestly say that I’ve never experienced something so crazy. Today exceeded all expectations when this crazy haboob blasted out of some marginal severe thunderstorms. It’s crazy things like this that keep me coming out. #cowx #kswx pic.twitter.com/oO2waXhJVe
