You know in the old days you could through a cat threw the cracks in the walls of most houses, and that kind of dust would all but destroy everything. With todays modern buildings and air condetioning does the dust and grime still get in somehow :?: and how did you cope with it. :?: :( :(

I have a sister in-law living in the affected area a little east of Phoenix, she said it was one of those things you had to see first hand to believe.

It came from the south. We were lucky in that we are located in North Scottsdale (the Troon area for those familiar). The Fender HQ is MUCH more south and likely got hit pretty good. I am new to Scottsdale ... I have never seen anything like it. I felt like I was in the movie the The Mist ...
