Last week I washed my car for the first time in a looonnnggg time. After a quick trip to San Angelo I returned to find my car looking the worst it ever has. Thanks to John Strunk I found out why. John posted a picture of his truck on Flickr:
Here’s the scoop from the San Antonio Express-News:
The dirty drops of rain splattering cars across the city doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.
According to the National Weather Service the mixture isn’t mud, but ash.
The source of the smoky rain is a large fire in Central Mexico, near Mexico City, said weather forecaster Joe Baskin.
There could be dust from dust storms out of Monterrey in the rain, Baskin said, but the significant part comes from the smoke.

You should be used to that, after all you are from Midland.
