My wife and I headed out for our usual Bunker Hills Park bike ride. The skies were partly cloudy and a few rain drops had fallen but we saw a clearing and decided to go. After crossing Bunker Lake on the bridge we turned back to the west. The sky was black but mostly to the North. I though we could finish our run so we kept on our route. Once we reached the entrance of the park the black sky was still North and appeared like we were OK. The trail heads back to the North side of the park and we could see it raining in the distance.
Riding West on Bunker Lake Blvd we turned into the County maintenance yard and went past the Sheriffs station. I could hear what sounded like a jet over head and it was calm on the ground. As we turned South on Hanson, we looked North and saw a wall of dust coming our way. Luckily the wind was now at our back as it quickly hit 60 MPH. 3 seconds later I was over come by the dust cloud and didn't dare look back. As I approached 133rd to cross Hanson, I could barely see my wife or whether any traffic was coming. Once across I escaped the dust storm and kept riding hard, not knowing what was next. My wife wasn't so lucky crossing Hanson and had to wait for a clearing. By the time we arrived home a few minutes later, all was calm again.
