Dust and sand gets into everything, even your house.

Makes little sand dunes on the window sills of your car that you
previously thought were air tight.

The description of the sand blowing the size of peas sounds extra inviting.

I haven't seen that, but I've been in some sand storms in my local
California deserts that completely removed the paint from a side of my
Jeep over night as I slept, fortunately I had the windshield pointed
down wind so I could drive home the next day. It's not fun.

Re: OT texas help
 
I see no contradiction. I-10 comes in from the northwest
and goes out on the east southeast. Now if you were an
old fart with bad glasses and extremely nearsighted or
always went thru in a heavy wind storm, perhaps I can see
how you could miss looking almost directly in front of
you [coming in from the west] and off to the right a
bit at the Franklin Mountains and Ranger Peak. And as you
head east, you are indeed heading into the flaaaaaaat.
And in a truck, you probably wouldn't be all that welcome
trying to cruise from Robinson street to Scenic Drive to
Alabama along the edge of the Franklin mts. And even on
the run from Las Cruces to El Paso on !-10, I guess if
you are old and blind you could probably miss the Organ
Mountains since they are a ways off in the distance on
highway 70. And you wouldn't have gone east on Hwy 62 to
the Hueco Mountains just directly east of town. And heading
north-northeast along hwy 54 it is pretty flat until you
get near the Jarilla Mts, although you can see the Franklins
off to the left.

But yeah, I can see how a trucker just drivin thru might
get the false impression that El Paso is completely flat.
