It was a nasty one. I live 60 miles from Odessa and by the time it rolled in it turned the sky black. It was so dense that it cut off the DISH satellite connection. Then the rain and mud balls. Oh how we love West Tx.

What can be done? I honestly know nothing about these. Crow Woman -------------------- Sheri L Baity Lord, Please give me peace, because if you give me strength, I might beat someone to death!

LB,That's a regular couger,just been hit with those mudballs. I feel better that someone has "at least mentioned"the GOV'T do something! On a little more serious note-I went to L.A. California about 2 months ago. What are all the perfectly round crop-circle things I saw from the air??They seemed to start over Arizona and went to about west Texas??Where I come from it was always easier to make fields square-ish..You just don't get as dizzy plowing!!I really couldn't figure it out,and have been waiting to ask..Sporterweight -------------------- You got space invaders ?-No You got pac-man ?-No You got asteroids ?-No -but dad does -can hardly sit on the toilet somedays.

Sporterweight, those round fields are formed by a Pivot Irigation System. It basically consists of a well or water supply in the middle with a self propelled sprinkler system that goes around when in operation. It is kind of tuff to get water in the corners.

Maybe pivots? Crow woman, I'm just jabbering, tongue in cheek. Democrats expect the government to solve acts of God and harness the forces of nature.....I was being a wise ass. Good hunting.

I read an aircraft accident report where the reported landing conditions were: 120 knot winds. 100 foot or less visibility. Blowing mud. Yes! BLOWING MUD. Amazingly enough, although the airplane got bent, there were no injuries. A few years ago, I drove through one of those: sand, dust, thunder, mud storms, just west of El Paso. Very nasty, but no worse than a gigantic snow-thunderstorm in Wyoming.

Member # 7 posted June 07, 2003 06:00 PM                       I worked an accident in EMS where we had a gust front come hrough and raise dirt and dust like that. We got on-scene and had to rapid extricate everyone from the cars and rush them to the ambulance covered with blankets. FD had on full SCBA just so they could breathe. Even though we only had the bus's doors open for seconds, at longest, we had a half-inch of dirt in and on everything. Before we could start IV's and attach EKG electrodes, we were giving these people sponge baths to remove crusted mud from the dirt and sweat. Not only on the patients, but my partner and I took turns flushing out each others' eyes with sterile saline so we could see what we were doing. Took us hours to clean equipment and ourselves afterwards. Worked an accident in a whiteout one time and I pity you folks in WY and other states where these things happen all the time. No farther apart than the length of a spine board and I lost sight of my partner in the snow at six feet away, and cars were whizzing past us on the highway the whole time. Very scary. But I love to study the fury of nature. That's why I chase 'naders. And as far as that pic looking female, well, there's gotta be something Freudian in there somewhere. Great pics and thanks for sharing. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.
