Aerial View Of Phoenix Disappearing Under A 5,000 Foot Dust Storm

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/06/2011 10:58 -0400

While without much direct implication for ponzi market navigation strategy and tactics, the attached videos of Phoenix disappearing under a 5,000 foot tall dust storm, which at time was as tall as 10,000 feet, is stunning in its own right. As the Huffington Post reports "the massive dust cloud, also known as a "haboob," was around 5,000 feet when it arrived in Phoenix,
but radar data reveals that it reached heights anywhere from 8,000 to
10,000 feet high prior. The storm appeared to be around 50 miles wide
in some areas, KSAZ-TV reported. The dust storm originated in Tucson,
and was a part of Arizona's monsoon season. According to CNN, the dust storm prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to issue a ground stop on flights at Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport
for about an hour and 15 minutes. At it's peak, the storm left 10,000
customers without power, Jenna Shaver of the Arizona Public Service told
CNN."

Biblical lookin.

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 11:10 | 1429705 Sudden Debt

everything is biblical.

I know a guy who knows a guy who has a friend who's great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfathers WIFE ACTUALLY BIT ON A APPLE on which she was not allowed to bite AND according to the pope, IS THE RESPONSIBLE off THIS financial crisis.

No kidding.

Back than, they already had a lot of shit because of it and they also started to FLOOD THE MARKETS WITH LIQUIDITY!

After a while, the shit turned so bad and nobody was really prepared besides 1 guy who actually accumelated himself a "lifeboat" to stay afloat on all that shit and after that first shitstorm, it turned out he was the only one who survived it.

Now the shit doesn't end there!

Because to solve that crisis back then, they all put that shit on the books by flipping stuff AND IT'S THAT SHIT THAT NOWS COMES BACK TO US!

So how to solve it you ask and what to learn from this lesson?

1. SELL APPLE STOCK!

2. BUY SILVER AND GOLD TO STAY AFFLOAT!

3. You may also hold some paper, because whipping your ass with only your hands isn't that cool when you're eating pizza or chicken after it!

He didn't actually take the Lord's name in vain....he engaged in blasphemy by using an innuendo to compare the sacred host to his penis!

You have taken this site to a new low Sudden Debt!!! I can only hope that you show the same level of disrespect to Islam in the presence of a devout Muslim so that he can show you the type of divine justice these sorts of comments warrant.....but you are likely just an anonymous coward!

Is it too much to ask to be able to participate in this "economic blog" without reading blasphemous comments against Christianity!!!!!

Sudden Debt....you are a piece of shit!

T.E.I.N. everyone!

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 15:14 | 1430593 pazmaker

you are right.. Sudden's comments were tasteless and classless. One has to wonder what was the intent of such comments? To shock or to dishonor? To show his contempt for Catholicism?

The comments would be just as distasteful if they were about Buddha or Mohhamed or any other human for that matter.

Overall the results are less respect for the commentator(SD), less weight given to any future comments and the fact that one wonders if he is nothing but a troll.

Listen Dick....if you're too stupid or just plain ignorant enough not to realize that words matter, then you shouldn't be posting on this site. The ability to say something this deeply insulting and then defend it is a comment about the quality of your character. If you didn't realize how deeply insulting your comments were.....now you know! The proper reply from a person of intelligence and character would be an apology....not some fraternity-boy defense of your actions by insinuating I'm unstable.

T.E.I.N. everyone!

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 16:03 | 1430758 Sudden Debt

You must be a true catholic.

You've called me names, insulted me like a drunk Irish tunnel worker, and repeatedly call for other people to go against me.

If you think you are such a catholic and devoted christian you should read your paperback again on your current acts.

But I'll forgive you!

Just tweet 10 prayers to your address book and update your personal profile 5 times and you are forgiven.

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 16:35 | 1430842 The Profit Prophet

I haven't called on anyone to do anything you childish twit. People are junking you because you just revealed yourself to be an ignorant piece of shit - who isn't man enough to apologize when he's made deeply offensive statements. Trust me when I say that your cum is nothing like the sacred host - and the fact that you insist this is not an offensive statement means that you are among the lowest forms of humanity.

I call on all reasonable and intelligent people of good conscience on ZeroHedge to henceforth junk all posts from the ignorant adolescent known as Sudden Debt (there....I just made an honest man-child of you).

P.S. Grow The Fuck Up!

Why would it be 'junking Christianity'? The old testament books are the Torah, which is what the Jews obviously follow....you know those people who are above everyone else and must not be criticized ever for anything?

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 13:08 | 1430171 Herd Redirectio...

What I find fantastic is that they can call you anti-semitic for criticizing a government! WTF? So if you hate the American Empire, I mean, Gov't then does that make you a racist? No, obviously not. It has nothing to do with race.

But when you criticize Israel, which has worse racial discrimination than America in the 60s (you know, when a certain MLK became famous) or even worse discrimination than South Africa during Apartheid, well, then you are a racist!

So there are a lot of people from Jewish families claiming to be religious, that run the completely biased media, and debauch society through Hollywood, and have a large concentration in financial institutions, esp. at the top level...

You are racist for mentioning it. Personally, I mention the so-called Jewish connection, because IMO it shows that when things get corrupt/exceptionally profitable/powerful you can only trust those closest to you. When you look at politics, you will often find that the most successful politicians are members of secret societies. In business, the most successful are those who are best connected, whether due to race, family, etc.

I counted the number of "great"s in your post: 30. Therefore the woman who ate the apple in your case lived 30 generations ago. Assuming an average child bearing age between 25-30, the women lived around 1111-1261AD. She couldn't be Eve because, accoeding to Bible, Eve was created 5771 years ago and died about 4871 years ago. There was only one woman in 12th century who could have made such a great impact: Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204). She was the wealthiest and most powerful woman during the middle age, and ancestress to almost all european royalties today. The problem is, she had so much money (gold) that she was never interested in the meager profit of banking business

You've got to love it, Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg TV, Margies' side kick was yammering just before 11am about the state of the cinema in China and how they are currently not permitting foreign films until such time as a government sponsored film ("Beginning of the Great Revival" ) achieves a revenue target of something like $100m.

The government film is about the founding of the communist party in China (in celebration of its 90th anniversary). Scarlet offers a bit of editorial comment stating that there is a lot of blood and suffering in the movie "but at least it has a happy ending, the PRC".

I wonder if anyone in Scarlet's family has spent time in a Laogai Camp (http://www.laogai.org/)

But to tell people to short the major stock indices? Most people don't even know what going short is, my own father who has been investing more than 15 years had no idea people were making money when stocks go down.

So tell them to buy silver and gold, not short the indices!

The Mongolian death worm (Mongolian: ?????-??????, olgoi-khorkhoi, "large intestine worm") is a creature reported to exist in the Gobi Desert. It is generally considered a cryptid: an animal whose sightings and reports are disputed or unconfirmed.

It is described as a bright red worm with a wide body that is 2 to 5 feet (0.6 to 1.5 m) long.^[1]^[2]

The worm is the subject of a number of extraordinary claims by Mongolian locals - such as the ability of the worm to spew forth acid that, on contact, will turn anything it touches yellow and corroded (and which would kill a human),^[3] as well as its reported ability to kill at a distance by means of electric discharge.

When Biblical things keep happening, perhaps a strategy adjustment is in order.

I've noticed ZH referencing Huffington Post recently for news stories that could be referenced anywhere. For a blog with a very, VERY anti-liberal slant/readership, I find this most curious. Is ZH trying to expand its readership beyond the doomer bobble heads? Is ZH going gay?

New development?

Rags like that would never be referenced on Z/H. Watch out! Quick duck! That Rainbow almost got ya . " Like a anal torpedo"!

Just Huffington Post doing a good job at SEOing itself to Google search coupled with tight schedules.

But aside from that, there is certainly a conspiracy afoot. Be concerned. Be very concerned.

Eeeeehhhh. It's a desert people. Sandstorms happen.

Depression. Dust Bowl.

Eerily, while driving in rural Oklahoma a couple weeks back, I came across a scene very reminiscent of the Dust Bowl - wind blown soil from the parched fields starting to drift on the side of the two-lane blacktop county road I was on.

come to think of it, there seems to have been many such reminders lately...

Yeah, it was gross alright. It looked like you were on some other planet. And what REALLY made me mad, no rain after the dust storm.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be along shortly, what with it being monsoon season and all.

Pretty nasty stuff. Even the dogs wouldn't go out in it.

This morning the streets look like those videos of Iraq, minus the GIs (so far).

The really wierd thing was the sunrise. I could look right at it. It was so pale it looked like a full moon. Lots of 'course particulates' still up there...

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 11:29 | 1429790 Uncle Remus

The really wierd thing was the sunrise.

The sunrise wasn't in the west was it? I hear that is a bad thing.

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 11:41 | 1429841 toady

still in the east... we should be safe for a few more hours.

If you're trying to find Phoenix today, just look for a Sphynx head sticking up out of the sand.

The desert is a fragile eco-system.. perhaps moving millions of people into it was not a good idea?

Looks bullish to me.

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 11:47 | 1429872 Frank N. Beans

what happens is that surrounding storms take a dump of cooler air when the air becomes too heavy for the updrafts. When that air drops, it then spreads over the desert, picking up dust and blowing it ahead of the storm, in this case into Phoenix. Then when the (little bit of) rain finally comes, it gets everything dirty, especially pools and cars, cause there's usually not enough rain to wash off the dirt.

Wed, 07/06/2011 - 12:39 | 1430098 francis_sawyer

There's never enough rain to wash off the dirt...

Just ask any politician...

I've scrubbed myself raw, yet I still feel dirty...

We have dust everywhere. I opened my truck up and the cup holder was filled with sand. We had mud covering the front door as well. Normal for this time of year here.
