Dust Devils in Kandahar

I have been reading about the drought that is hitting most of the good old USA - Luckily, the New England area has no issue with rain as back home, they have been getting a serious soaking.... I feel sorry for the farmers and others suffering under this seasonal stretch of dryness......

Here in Kandahar, it is HOT, Dry and Dusty....Oh yeah, did I mention DUSTY ??

Here are a few shots of what I am talking about.....Some serious Dust Devils tearing up the sands....

And How was your day??? - Dust Storm hits Camp Leatherneck

Today at approximately 16:00 hours, our location was hit by a fierce Dust Storm....

We are here supporting the US Military and conditions here are harsh - Temps soar to the lower 120's during the day and the weather can change dramatically as seen in these pictures...Hot, windy & dusty seem to be our three most regular weather conditions.

I am looking forward to being home in Late July for a well deserved R&R, and enjoying the beautiful summer weather in the greater Boston area....I really, really am....
