    I got a call to run outside my house at around 8:00pm and that 'it' was probably just about to hit my neighborhood - 'it' was huge... the sky looked like it was having it's curtains closed - every bit of dusk just closed up into a deep black/brown... I jumped into my truck and tried to drive up the street to meet my brother as he was usually walking home from the bus at that time - I couldn't see headlights in front of me until I was probably about 30 feet away from the oncoming car... but at that distance the headlights looked liked flashlights in a snowstorm... ... I wish I had my own video camera and could have shot the sky being eaten up...

    Here's some local video:

    • ..nothing stops the wind and you would eventually get a huge storm.. but in a city?e-pill
    • how common is it?e-pill
