I Think We May Be Following A Derecho. Or Is It An Izquierda?

What's with all the new storm-related terms?

Haboob.  In Arizona, where we have lots of dust and wind mixing, we just call it a "really big-ass dust storm". 

Derecho.  I'm confused.  Is it a storm?  Is it going right?  Straight?  Veering to the right?  Mierda.

TOR:CON.  I hate this one.  All capitalized to show how scary it is.  TOR:CON 8 is essentially DEFCON 1.  Do you know what that means?  Yeah, didn't think so.

Let me fill you in...

In both cases, your shelter is probably going to be obliterated. 

Have a nice day!
