Enormous 'Godzilla Dust Cloud' <br />Heading to the US Gulf Coast According to Accuweather, the cloud is <br />journeying thousands of miles over the <br />Atlantic Ocean from the Sahara Desert. It is not uncommon for Sahara dust <br />to travel far, but this occurrence is <br />one of the largest in decades. AccuWeather's <br />Dan Kottlowski Accuweather explains that the phenomenon is <br />hampering tropical development in the ocean. AccuWeather's <br />Alan Reppert This Thursday, the dust is <br />forecasted to reach the coast of Texas. Kottlowski predicts that the state's eastern part <br />will soon release weak air quality reports. He adds that the dust will also <br />spread across the whole Gulf Coast. At that time, it could become a <br />health hazard after combining <br />with smoke or other dust particles. Issues may arise for those with <br />respiratory health problems.
