I did get a rather minor dust storm right as I was turning into my neighborhood. Headwinds were probably between 20 and 30 mph and the dust wasn't so bad I couldn't see so it was a nice dust storm (The bad ones I agree can be very dangerous and are probably not too healthy on the lungs either). Hail would be nice but a storm around here that can drop hail in the middle of the summer is usually strong enough to include microbursts which have 100 mph winds at times. Anyway the humidity climbed yesterday and the 103 degree temperature that wasn't so bad in the last few days actually got a little warm today (maybe it was just hot because I was in a hurry though and worked harder).
