This photo taken March 23, 2017, shows sustained 43 mile per hour winds with 58 mile per hour gusts picked up dust obscuring both the Organ Mountains and A Mountain from view at the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum in Las Cruces, N.M. Not unlike a flash mob gathering in a public place to briefly capture the attention of unsuspecting passers-by, the ingredients in this case — warm temperatures and a lack of rain — came together quickly in New Mexico. It’s called a flash drought. (Josh Bachman /The Las Cruces Sun-News via AP)
