Haboobs
By Mark Flippo
A haboob (Arabic) is a type of intense dust storm carried on an atmospheric gravity current, also known as a Weather Front. Haboobs occur regularly in arid regions throughout the world. They have been observed in the Sahara desert (typically Sudan, where they were named and described), as well as across the Arabian Peninsula, throughout Kuwait, and in the most arid regions of Iraq. Haboob winds in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Kuwait, and North America while haboobs in Australia may be frequently associated with cold fronts. The deserts of Central Australia, especially near Alice Springs, are particularly prone to haboobs, with sand and debris reaching several kilometers into the sky and leaving up to 30 centimetres (1 ft) of sand in the haboob's path. In North America, the most common terms for these events is either dust storm or sandstorm. In the U.S., they frequently occur in the deserts of Arizona, including around the cities of Yuma and Phoenix; in New Mexico, including Albuquerque; in eastern California, and in Texas.
These can strip paint off your car and house. They are very powerful. You can not be outside when they come through. I do not understand how people can live in areas that continue to get devastated! Do you just get numb and think it will not happen again? Fiji just got plowed into by a category five cyclone.
It was the first that was that strong in the southern hemisphere. They seem to be popping up in many places. One disaster after another. the government tries to come in and help but they only have so much money to work with. What happens when they run out of money and they can not get any more?
We need to have a open communication with God Almighty so that even when we can not get help from anyone else the supply line from Heaven is available to us! Don't depend on Uncle Sam to bail you out. Jesus will give you the needed help at the right time!
