While walking home from the post office yesterday afternoon, I could see a rather fierce-looking storm moving east toward us from the mountains that separate Fernley from the Reno/Sparks area.

It's not all that obvious in this view, but there were a bunch of dust clouds kicking up in front of this storm, and it looked worse than this photo shows, I think. I bucked a strong headwind walking home and stayed indoors. As it happens, when the storm actually reached us, it wasn't quite as bad as its advance billing made it out to be.
