Massive Saharan Dust Cloud to impact the United States next week

Ahh yes, 2020... The year of apocalyptic headlines! Although, there is some good news that may come out of this weather phenomenon.

A look at satellite today shows a large cloud of dust streaming off the west coast of Africa from the Sahara Desert.

It can be a little hard to pick out the dust on grayscale, but if you adjust for true colors, it's easy to see just how widespread this wall of dust actually is!

Our dust tracker is able to see where that dust is going to go over the next week. Below you can see where the dust progresses across the Atlantic Ocean between now and this time next week.

Shouldn't the 50 states each deal with this separately without federal interference?

What could be causing this, global cooling?

What could be causing this, global cooling?

Wind and dirt.

Wind and dirt.

I meant, what's causing the wind and dirt and is it global cooling.

Science

Deserts are very arid places

With very little condensation the sand/dirt remains loose

High pressure systems equal a higher velocity of wind

The heavy wind picks up the loose sand/dirt and carries it aloft into the atmosphere where it accumulates into a large cloud.

The cloud is carried by wind currents

Apocalypse

Earthquake —> Nuclear War —> Aliens —> Meteor —> Volcanoes —> Robot Army

Earthquake —> Nuclear War —> Aliens —> Meteor —> Volcanoes —> Robot Army

Or maybe an Alien Robot Army that causes an all out nuclear war. A consequence of which is massive aftershock earthquakes. While we are busy trying to survive that, we don't see the giant Texas sized meteor/asteroid coming to hit us.

All true but what's making it worse these days? Global cooling?

You're just a bundle of good news.

One of the most vile things I've seen in a long time.

Using religion to fearmonger, disgusting

Two 7.4 magnitudes earthquakes within a week, one in New Zealand on the 18th and one today in Mexico. Hope there aren't any tsunamis from today's.

Housing crisis and a crippling economy.

Also, the election and ensuing race war. So totally fucked.

• The storms were making their way into Virginia and the Carolinas on Sunday
• Boston, Hartford, New York City, Des Moines and Charlotte named some of the major cities where the weather system could strike, bringing large hail
• A cold front is expected to bring winds to the west, posing a risk of fire growth and spread from Colorado to California

He might need a brown sharpie for that one.

Nah. He clearly has an aversion to anything brown that isn’t on a McDonald’s menu
