Arizona Dust Devil Postcard

Long time postcard-swappin' pal, Denise, sent this terrific dust devil postcard! She noticed it in my Postcrossing favorites.

Coincidentally, I had just recently posted about an encounter with a dust storm and a dust devil this past May while in Texas.

Thanks again, Denise!

Lubbock, Texas, Dust Storm

Yesterday, I found myself in a wild wind and dust storm on a trip to Lubbock, Texas.

After arriving at my destination, the winds were still going strong. (I had heard later that winds were 60-70 mph)

I'm happy to say that, today, it's sunny and beautiful in Lubbock, and not windy at all!

Before getting deep into the dust storm, I noticed this giant-sized dust devil near Plainfield, Texas.
I have seen small dust devils out west, but much smaller though. I'm glad this one was a safe distance away from the highway. It was quite a sight though!
