"Here Comes The Haboob: Texas High Plains Getting Walloped By Dust Storms" [1]

"High Plains residents are used to wind and dust, but an ongoing drought and recent tropical-storm-level winds have brought some epic dust storms."

"LUBBOCK — The Texas High Plains is a vast swath of oil-rich soil and farm and ranch land as far as the eye can see — only the peaks of Caprock Canyon break up the endless miles of plains in the region.

The picturesque landscape can yield beautiful sunsets, but it also brings dirt.

Lots of dirt."

Jayme Lozano reports for the Texas Tribune February 24, 2023. [2]
