Re: Franklin Ragged, Likely out to Sea

A "rain storm" of dust is overblowing the matter. We see these outbreaks of the dust layer a couple of times each hurricane season, bringing only minor effects to our part of the ocean. It might cause things to be slightly more hazy than they already are (given the stagnant weather conditions of the past month), maybe even cause slgiht impairment to breathing for those who normally have trouble with it -- but the basic ideas in the newspaper article are likely on the extreme end of things you might see.
