This "weather" in Phoenix...record heat of 118 degrees and now this "never saw this before" incredible dust storm...

Have you ever been to phoenix in the summer? It's in a place called Arizona...Arid Zone. It's hot and dry there (with the exception of the monsoon season, in which case it is hot and wet). Hell, it's hot in the winter.

And never saw a dust storm in phoenix before? here, let me help:
2007
youtube.com
2009
youtube.com
here's a report of one in 2008
azcentral.com
and from 2004
phoenix.about.com

When I was a kid....3 or 4 years old, I lived in the Palm Springs area (california). I remember seeing dust storms there. Now far fewer because of irrigation.

Where you have deserts, you have dust/sand storms.

and those northern waters have been unfrozen before...in the past 150 years. Shall I dig up the proof of that too?
