Beautiful shot of a wonder of nature! I saw something similar in Utah ( http://www.pbase.com/listorama/image/48651607 ).

I took the picture from our upper deck (where I also take the lighting shots) so as the storm got close I just walked back into the house. It wasn't a true wall of dust, it gradually got darker until it engulfed us.
