Kind of like how 'haboob' is relatively new in use here in the desert SW...they used to just call them dust storms, I think...

From accuweather.com...

"Today's instantaneous communication of weather extremes by way of social media commands the use of attention-grabbing terms. There is a risk of overuse of terms like derecho or blizzard. However, the term "strong or severe thunderstorms" is used so commonly today that we felt many people may disregard a potentially life-threatening event if we stopped there."

So what he's basically saying is that they have to be on the edge of hysteria just to get people's attention these days... :rolleyes:

Speaking of storms............ we actually had one last night !!! Started with high winds and then came the dust, oh the dust. I thought I may loose one of my trees out in front the wind was so bad. Next came the rain and it was quite heavy. Next was the lightning and the thunder. I loved it !

I was in Phoenix a couple of years ago and one night I saw a lightning and thunder storm... not a drop of rain, though. I had never seen thunder and lightning without rain before...
