  Dynamite capture, Jim! I've seen one before, but nothing of this magnitude.
60mph is getting close to tornado winds!

  Great capture, Jim! Over 8 years in Baja, we saw (or lived through) some of these. Scary stuff! Especially, if you're driving, as they come out of nowhere and you can't see a foot ahead. I never did get a photo though. Awesome shot!

  Awesome shot, Jim. Very dramatic. I've been through some southern US dust storms but nothing like this.

  An amazing capture, Jim! We get these storms in our outback areas, and they are not a pleasant experience!

  OMG Jim what a fantastic image. I hope you got your camera in a ziploc before it hit. I was in a slight one of these in El Paso, Texas a number of years ago. I didn't like it.
