Dust storms are a fact of life in the Southwest. We saw plenty of them while driving through Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas. What was new was being in a dust storm. We stopped at a rest area in west Texas to have lunch, and out of nowhere a whirlwind of dust permeated the entire area. In a matter of seconds dust was in the car and in my hair. Even shutting the car door was a challenge, and the act of doing so brought in as much dust as it shut out. The storm lasted about a minute, after which things went back to normal.
Except for the dust that remained in our car and had to be wiped, and later vacuumed, out.
