Milford Dust Storm
Milford Dust Storm
On the day before Father's Day (June 20, 2009) we had a big dust storm near the wind farm that is under construction in Milford, UT. I stayed out in it taking pictures until I could smell the dirt - then I jumped in the Hummer and closed the vents.
It was awesome!

SGraves155Dang, that would do a bad number on your paint job and your air-filter!
I used to live in northern Nevada, and the wind-blown sand there had already etched the windshield. But yes, it is wild. I've noticed that I cough like Doc Holliday on the days that the dust is in the air.

filmitI've been caught on that milford burn on a 4 wheeler when the wind came up. Just had to stop bury our heads in our shirts and wait for it to die down. It was not fun. I live about 70 miles north of Beaver.

PalmerGreat photos. It gives a colored picture hint at what it was like in the dust bowl years seen in the black and white photos.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Beautiful pictures. Reminds me of West Texas dust storms.
