This Tuesday morning, upon reading and seeing the news about the massive haboob dust storm wall which yesterday blew into the Valley of the Sun, I texted my Arizona sister who resides in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler asking....
You kids okay after that horrible haboob?
Sister Jackie replied with....
It was a crazy one. We just have some messiness, and some water made it into the back door. CJ had a tree come down out front, snapped at the bottom, just barely missing the front window of his house. Have not had one like this in years!
The photo documentation you see here came with the text message, showing us the tree which blew over at CJ's house.
For those not familiar with my relatives, CJ is my eldest nephew living in Arizona. The eldest son of sister Jackie and my favorite brother-in-law, Jack. CJ is the proud father of Cade and Cambri, married to the lovely mother of Cade and Cambri, Carissa.
A second after I texted sister Jackie this morning I realized I'd forgotten the time difference.
I texted about 8 this morning, my Central time.
Arizona is the only state in the Union which does not do daylight savings time, south of the Grand Canyon. So, the time difference is either one or two hours. Since sister Jackie got right back to me I am assuming we are at that time of the year when the time difference is only one hour.
Additional note about the photo. For some reason photos sent to my phone, from sister Jackie's I-phone, don't always work. Clicking the thumbnail just opens a big black screen. Using preview mode and the screencap button, I am able to capture a small version of the photo.
