These are pictures of a storm called a Haboob
Let me know what you all think, thanks.

All photos were taken with a Minolta DiMage Z1

It seems my pictures will not show up, can anyone help me with this? I am using snapfish, and the instructions listed for posting at the beginning of this thread

I believe snapfish doesn't allow hotlinking. I suggest getting a photobucket.com account.

Thanks Core, I opened that account because it said so in the instruction thread, guess that might be a little dated. thank you for the new direction. Hopefully you all will be able to see them soon.

That's exactly it...it's dated. Snapfish USED to allow hotlinking. It would be great if we could get that updated. Maybe a mod or admin can go through and edit the posts like that to say "no longer allows hotlinking" or something.

Core, I agree(at least as much as the new kid on the block can). Anyway, Photobucket worked, and the pics are up. Thanks for your help once again.

These photos are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing them.

As a side note, I have updated that outdated thread so hopefully we can avoid that confusion for the next new user! Thank you for letting us know.

Are you in the military? What branch? I am in the army guard out of california and I was scheduled to deploy to iraq in november with the 42nd Infantry from New york. the day that i was scheduled to fly to texas for SRP they told me I was dropped from the roster. Anyways Godbless you and keep it up. I have a LOT of great friends over there right now. Where are you stationed?

This is actually common in the south west part of the USA. Doing a google search of images of haboob will get you many pictures...
