"Sandstorm"

Tja, so umschreibt der amerikanische Wetterdienst gekonnt einen simplen Sandsturm, der sich heute Mittag über unserem Flugplatz breitmachte:

THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IN PHOENIX HAS ISSUED
AN AIRBORNE COARSE PARTICLE HIGH POLLUTION ADVISORY FOR THE GREATER
PHOENIX AREA FOR MONDAY. THE PINAL COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AIR QUALITY
HAS ISSUED AN AIRBORNE COARSE PARTICLE HIGH POLLUTION ADVISORY FOR
PINAL COUNTY INCLUDING APACHE JUNCTION...CASA GRANDE...COOLIDGE...AND
FLORENCE FOR MONDAY.

AN EPISODE OF STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS IS FORECAST TO GENERATE
WIDESPREAD BLOWING DUST THAT MAY RESULT IN LOCAL COARSE PARTICLE
CONCENTRATIONS THAT POSE A HEALTH RISK. ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS
INCREASE AS AIR QUALITY DETERIORATES.

Für mich hieß es heute deswegen: Kein Flug.. :(
