Dust Storm east of Pueblo

Some pics of our dust storm rolling in yesterday. We were headed east out of Pueblo when we noticed her alongside and behind us. We raced it at 80mph for about 15 miles. Got to the house the same time it did. It was dark for about 45 minutes but we could see far enough to see our tree branches getting broken off. You can see the storm engulfing Crowley County Jail in one pic.

Very cool! Thanks for the pics!

Wow, I didn't realize these things existed in CO. It seems that all the CONUS footage of such are in AZ...

Looks like the Black Blizzard of 1935.

I remember those in the lifetime I spent in Lubbock TX, (2 years). This has to be how the Dust Bowl years must have looked. I didn't know we had these in CO.

Reminds me of home
South eastern Washington has them.

I think Pueblo is more the Brown Blizzard type of area....

Lubbock huh? I'm a TTU grad... there were some amazing storms there during my time.

Dang those are some cool shots! Looks bad ass.

Whoa!

Holy crap!!

Those pictures are pretty incredible... Kind of looks like a Iraqi desert sandstorm. Didn't expect to see something like that here in the high plains. Thanks for posting.
