harv Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 It's usually very clear. Also our water level is still 13 ft higher than normal. Those trees you se in the water , are usually the shore line.....harv 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Ok, that makes sense. I wondered about the waterline but wasn't sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Harv, don't tell me something about Sahara dust, if you haven't been in it . That is how a proper Kalima looks like, here on the Canary islands. It's a wind directly from the Sahara desert and travels hundreds of kilometers. After a Kalima everything is sand covered. There is an international air pollution index, which is normally very good here with a value around 20-30. With bad Kalimas it can raise up to 500, which means extremely hazardous with high risks of infections. You should stay at home these days and of course no airbrushing . This year it was not that extreme, but we had Kalima for a very long time, I think for about two month since October in total. Last year, we had one like this and it ripped off our power connection and fell a tree in the garden. Dusty Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 That is dusty. My best man ran 5 marathons in the Saharan desert a few years ago. They were on consecutive days. Afterwards he said he never wants to see sand again. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The dust got to me in TN about noon on Friday, my family and I were at the beach when it seemed to get cloudy, but sun was still casting shadows. It’s been like that since them, but today the color seems a lot more orange/yellow. Seems cloudy, but it’s more like a thick haze, or a fog that’s lifted, strange thing, the sun is still getting through. As far as real sandstorms, I was in Phoenix AZ once when a true sand storm came through, we were on a hill and could see the wall of dust coming at us for about 10 minutes before it hit. That was strange. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Anyone experiencing a blue Sun? The size of the dust particles we get here whenever there's a dust storm out of the Red Centre refracts the light in such a way the Sun turns blue. It's quite a sight.
