Not The Sahara

Somebody just told me that the dust that is playing havoc with everything is not Sahara dust but fallout from volcanic activity from Montserrat, many miles to the west and north. Well, darn. I suggested it could be when we first sensed it, but it was poopooed by everybody. Actually, authorities say the dust is so thick in Dominica, that they thought it was snowing. Even Dominica is far east and north from the volcano. I think I'll ask my buddy Hugh, an amateur meteorologist how the dust can get from Montserrat to here, when every cloud at every level is streaming directly westward.

Must be some massive expulsion to get to an altitude where there is something moving east and south.
