Fogpocalypse in Texas!
Beware! The fogpocalypse is here! Actually, this is just Dallas, Texas, engulfed in a thick blanket of fog earlier this week.
On Monday night at around 11 p.m., a simple fog bank began to roll into the city, and it grew thicker throughout the night. In fact, it grew so much that visibility dropped to nearly zero.
People quickly leapt into action to document the phenomenon. Mike Prendergast took his drone out to photograph the fog, and others, of course, took to Twitter and Instagram to discuss the eerie miasma. One person on Twitter quipped, "Everything is bigger in Texas, even the fog."
The FAA reports that a ground stop was issued for flights coming to the Dallas/Fort Worth airport on Tuesday morning. Close to 50 departures were canceled by 10 a.m.
Fog like this occurred because low-level moisture streamed into the region from the southwest while a high-pressure system established itself to the north. The high pressure prevented any wind, holding the fog in place.
The sky has returned to normal over the Lone Star state, but this is just a reminder that everything is bigger in Texas, even the fog.
