AZ dust

the I10 route is no worse tan any other. Lots scare talk here, if and its a big IF you are aware of what you are doing and going then the I10 corridor is no worse than any other in the country. What is wrong is that you get folks trying to impose speed limits on others and then there are issues. 65 in the middle lane of 3 in a 75 zone! get your butts over to the right lane where they are supposed to be. Also if passing a vehicle PASS it then get out of the way. Really nothing more than courtesy on the highway. As to the storms they happen anywhere. Dust storms happen on I10 over in and by New Mexico. Bad storms happen on I40 up in the winslow, williams flagstaff areas also. Crossing from NM to AZ by gallup last summer we were in a mud storm! Lotsa dirt in the air and its trying to rain. Went ot the field when stationed in ok and got the same thing. A mud storm. I drive up to east la (phx) frequently because unfortunately my daughter lives there. biggest headache are those I describe above, and I am not talking about the storms. So dont be afraid to drive in this area, just be aware of what you are doing and what is going on around you. These storms do appear suddenly but you really get to see them coming. It takes time for the wind to pick up and carry that much dust it is not instantaneous as indicated. In all the times Iv e been to east la only got caught 1 time in a dust storm, lotsa wind but only 1 for real storm. Rain can be just as bad when we have them. drive wisely and aware at ALL times.
