Apocalyptic Dust Storm

Most of you have probably seen the photos from the dust storm that blew into Phoenix a few days ago.  It was the biggest dust storm EVER to hit smack dab in the middle of that city.  But just in case you haven't seen the photos of this mile high storm rolling over the city....you need to see it here;

The video: Near sundown on Tuesday, the people of Phoenix were swallowed in a massive cloud of dust that knocked out power to almost 10,000 people, shut down the airport, and turned swimming pools into mud pits. Although such storms are very difficult to predict, several intrepid photographers had enough warning to ready their cameras for the mile-high, 100-mile-wide haboob — the Arabic term for this kind of dust storm, used in the Sahara and Arizona. The 100-mile-wide storm "moved like a giant wave" through the city, temporarily burying skyscrapers. In this time-lapse video (Watch it below), Mike Olbinski stood atop a four-story parking garage to capture the 60 mph wall of dust.

Of course we all know that this is simply one more ominous sign that our God, full or mercy, is giving to this sound asleep generation...as it was in the days of Noah.
