A colossal cloud of Sahara dust is smothering the Caribbean en route to the US
A massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert blanketed most of the Caribbean on Monday in the biggest event of its kind this year as it heads toward the United States.
The cloud extended some 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) from Jamaica to well past Barbados in the eastern Caribbean, and some 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) from the Turks and Caicos Islands in the northern Caribbean down south to Trinidad and Tobago.
The plume is expected to hit Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi late this week and into the weekend, DaSilva said.

Hopefully, it'll cover Florida in 10 feet of dust, then a nice hurricane will come by and turn all of that dust into mud.
It can be a modern day Pompeii, and people won't know that Florida existed, for at least 1000 years!

This is not unusual. It happens every summer. Next thing you know, OP is going to discover there's a "hurricane season" and be appointed to lead a major US agency.
