This shot was taken from the front seat at 10am Friday morning on the shoulder of I-40 westbound, on our way into Glendale, AZ for the Bruce Springsteen concert.
We had just pulled over because visibility was down to... well, you can see. As soon as we pulled over, the traffic in the lanes came to a halt. Truckers slowed everyone down and stopped traffic before the idiot drivers who didn't know any better started a chain reaction pile up. No accidents to report, everyone kept their cool and no one got hurt.
We sat there for over an hour as 40mph winds whipped the dirt up, gusting to 60pmph. Soon the traffic slowly started moving, so we joined the caravan and rolled on down the highway into the clear blue a couple miles up the road.
I have been in blinding rain storms of the midwest before, but a blinding sand storm, this was a first.
