Vladislav Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Looks like the video is showed faster than it was filmed, you can see a car running down the street 3-4 times quicker than it would usually do. But doesn't seem as fun anyway.

mrsmackpaul Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes we are building solar farms in this rubbish every day of late Pretty hard on the lungs, but thats the price we pay for green power lol But this weather makes for some cracking sunrises You get probably 10 - 15 minutes from the time you see the dust storm till your in it I have farmed thru this type of weather almost everyday for six months in 2001 Feels a bit surreal at times but you do get used to it Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60660-having-a-bit-of-weather-paul/#findComment-441164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Can you protect your lungs by some quite efficient way? Looks nasty on my screen. We had smoke in the city for a month or two about 10 years ago because of swamps burning in 150 km. But dust seems as a different matter. Hope you can stay safe with what happens. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60660-having-a-bit-of-weather-paul/#findComment-441165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Technician Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Freaky how those dust storms can produce lightning. Watched a show about the dust bowl of 1935. Sand moving over a steel surfaces, like a plow or tractor, could generate enough static electricity to give you taser shocks.

It surly can Some of our electrical cables buried with ends sticking out of the ground will build up many thousands of volts in dust storms Feels like you have put your finger on a spark plug as it rips your arm out of its socket always ground the cables before touching them, pain is a good educator lol Vlad I do t worry about the dust to much as I should, to many people running around with their faces covered up in Australia with out me joining them Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60660-having-a-bit-of-weather-paul/#findComment-441174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
