Val Feldman level-deluxe April 28, 2013

Every time I see one of your dramatic photos of an oncoming haboob, I fluctuate between wanting to be there with you to see it in action and wanting to save my neck and running like my tail was on fire!!! :) :) All I can say is WOW (and great shooting, Bobby!) #10670423

Tammy M. Anderson level-deluxe April 28, 2013

Amazing, I can't imagine being on one storm like that... #10670561

frank w. degenhardt April 28, 2013

I agree with Wm- Holy crap Bobby. If you ever needed anything sanded, just set it out on the lawn. The cars and everything else must pretty well get their surfaces destroyed. I would scream like a girl if I looked out my window and saw that coming my way. What a mess it must leave. This is quite the picture and you were bold for attempting it. Dramatic is an understatement my friend. Amazing real life work. #10670582

Mary K. Robison April 28, 2013

So powerful and dramatic a capture, Bobby!

Your Arizona haboobs must be like the huge sandstorms in the Midwest that created the "dust bowl" conditions during the Depression.
Crank up your a/c for the coming days of 100+ degrees, and remember to drink lots of fluids, my friend. #10672279

Robert R. Goodman April 29, 2013

Terry Cervi level-deluxe May 01, 2013

Those things are amazing looking, Bobby! Do people ever get caught in one of these? It must leave the inside of your home pretty dusty. What a great capture, my friend! #10678531
