A kind list member just sent me some pictures from Texas of this phenomenon along with a description of winds. They are experiencing a pretty intense haboob. Yup that's the word, don't laugh, it's destructive ... just like in the Sahara, similar to the phenomenon of a simoom, just quick and intense dust filled clouds (which will be red from all the back scattering as posted before) and can cause atmospheric rain; and as he said, scary as all.

Maybe he can post the pix.  (I've can if you want)

Kindest wishes
Doug

Subject: [meteorite-list] Reports of Night Red Clouds from Ontario to Texas 24OCT2011


Dear List, My internet site is "lit up" with reports of strange red clouds from Ontario to Texas (100s of queries). This may be the result of a CME that is/was
due to hit Earth today???  Anyone know for sure what is going on?
