That's a good name for it. Imagine the SNAFU for the Japanese when their boat gets blown away by some P-40.

lets see now, it is the Aleutian Islands, the sun is shining, and it's not blowing 347 MPH sideways, must be a Senate delegation visiting-

Bless those guys who served up there.

and the 'dust' blowing around is volcanic ash, the equivalent of blowing 80 grit sandpaper (minus the paper) into every crevise and inlet the wind can get to- :shock:
In Anchorage some folks play a game and try to figure out the exact day it will freeze for Winter then take the car through the carwash so it will stay clean and dust free for a few days. :P
