Political Factoid
People in Texas are
accustomed to sandstorms
on a routine basis, but when
the U.S. Weather Service
forecasted a "haboob"* many
people became concerned.
A haboob is different than a
sandstorm because it's caused
by strong thunderstorm winds and
can lift dust as high as 5,000 feet,
Some people wondered as
this might be evidence of
climate change?*
Although most people were
simply spooked by the Arabic
term.

Which many, if not most,
Texans deny even exists.
