African Dust in South Florida



While vacationing in south Florida in late July, I was pleased to hear on the local news of an Saharan-borne dust cloud approaching the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area. Ah, a taste of home! I took the above photos on the morning of its arrival, revealing little more than a haze. Still, local news was cautioning residents with asthma.

Note the following two related media articles (article1, article2), and links to two previous blog entries re dust events in West Africa (entry1, entry2). Enjoy, but hold your breath.
