High wind warning in the desert

Our phones have been sending us alerts (from WeatherBug) for a couple of days that there were predicted high winds for our area. The wind has picked up this afternoon. We put the awning in, and put the antenna down (probably not an issue, but we aren't using the TVs anyway). The dust is really being blown - I was out only a minute to put the awning in and got so much in my eyes! Something fell on the roof of the bus - we'll examine what it was in a couple of days after the wind is supposed to die down.

We are in such a sandy area - the land just west of us along the freeway is what I have always thought the desert looked like - just fine sand. It is hard to capture what it looks like but maybe one picture that shows our view of the mountains north of us a couple of days ago, and then a picture out the front of the bus this evening.
A couple of days ago
Our view this evening - I didn't even want to walk outside to take a picture, the sand is blowing so much. We can barely see the mountains that are north of us.
