Dust storm

I know these pictures look like your typical cloudy yucky day, but oh no! What you see is dust, a huge cloud covered Spokane and made breathing outside difficult. It was thick and horrible. Spooky as well. The rain finally came, we've been without it for several weeks, and when it came, it removed the dust cloud. The rain was dirty water, instead of it washing off the dirt on your car, it put dirt ON your car.  We had washed our Land Rover the day before and after being out in it, our car is now filthy.  You can see the cloud is covered, but it was also lingering just below the tree line. At this point it hadn't rained yet, but sprinkled every now and then. Just before this dust cloud moved in the skies were blue as could be. So everything you're seeing in the air is dust. ICK!
