You haven't experienced West Texas until...

you've seen a sand storm.

That was what my mother in law said at dinner tonight.

Then this happened...

Maybe thirty seconds later the wall of sand had completely taken over the sky.

And it kept getting thicker and making it darker.

And then, in a matter of seconds, it was clear on one side of the house. Can you believe how bright it was at 9pm?? I guess that's what happens when there are no trees to block your view!

I walked around to the other side and there was virtually zero visibility past their yard! That was baffling to me considering you can see for miles on end on a normal day.

Needless to say, I experienced West Texas.
