Guest hurt_beyond_repair@yahoo.com Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Ok, I know this isn't scientifically conclusive in any way, but you got to wonder if these events are related. http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=260021 Drivers in Arizona seemed to take it all in stride when a huge cloud of dust swirled across the state on Monday. The dust storm moved north across the state with wind gusts up to 50 mph and disrupted life in Chandler, Gilbert and Phoenix. The huge cloud of dust dropped temperatures in the area 18 degrees in one hour, from 109 degrees to 91. Officials said the dust caused visibility to drop near zero, which translates to people not being able to see in front of them. http://www.space.com/news/070704_rovers_dust.html A major dust storm on Mars has worsened and is causing the Mars Exploration Rovers to lose power. Opportunity's highly anticipated and risky entry into Victoria Crater is delayed for at least several days, NASA announced. The regional storm, first reported by SPACE.com, is the most severe to hit the rovers since they began exploring Mars in January 2004. Already last week it was thousands of miles wide. At first, scientists did not expect it to affect rover operations. But dust from the storm is partly blocking sunlight, which the rovers need in order to recharge their batteries via their solar panels. Opportunity's operations were scaled back June 30 to conserve power, according to the statement. "The storm is affecting both rovers and reducing the power levels on Opportunity," said John Callas, Mars Exploration Rover project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "We are keeping an eye on this as we go forward, but our entry into Victoria Crater will be delayed until no sooner than July 13." The storm is expected to continue for at least another week. In the past, regional tempests have been known to grow and engulf the entire planet. http://www.google.com/news?q=phoenix+dust+storm&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS220US220 Quote

Dust Storms are what you have in the desert. Yep, even Zero Visibility ones that "Sand Blast" paint from cars. -- A government, of, by, and, for: Rich, Elite, Freemasons. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Quote
