Sand storm over Lake Sumter
 
It looks quite ominous over the lake. Sand is coming from somewhere and visibility is "slightly impaired". Initially I thought it was a rain storm coming in but soon realized it is a sandstorm. Keep your fingers crossed for no tornadoes today.

I was out jogging and saw it... I thought it was pollen until I got close enough to get nailed by it...

It's still out there. It must be coming from all the new construction.
So, did you get free micro-dermabrasion???

NOA radio went off a few hours ago. Tornado watch for Sumter, Lake and Marion counties until 4pm.

There are incredible sand storms on CR 101 where all the new building is going on (Parkwood). The sand from the open fields is blowing east across CR 101 into people's back lanais.

Mac, your weather radio seems to be the only one giving out a Tornado Watch (although a Watch is mentioned it on the computer weather station) Strangely, my weather radio hasn't peeped. :shrug:

It's not a good place to be with contact lenses. I think it came from the giant sand piles south of 466-A. It turned the sky brown!

The sky at my house was a dusty yellow. The temperature has dropped quite a bit from this morning.
