we're going to try to talk with photojournalist troy barrett up in sky fox. troy, can you hear us right now? >> i think not. we just wanted some perspective on exactly what we're looking at, where we are. troy, can you hear us? >> that's one of the microphones up there, but it's obviously not troy right now. we'll work on getting troy to give us some perspective. i think he's farther down south right now. >> i don't think it's getting any lighter, but it does seem to not be as dense as it was when but it's hard because we don't know what angle we're actually -- >> that is a massive storm. as you see him pan across. look at that, that is miles and miles long. >> now that is the perspective we were thinking of. easily miles high as well. and it's always this is the kind of picture that people from the east coast, my friends who live in new york, boston, relatives in louisville, they see this, and they call, and they start asking if we're okay. they're like, is everybody okay are you guys okay? i'm like, it really is just a wall of dust, though it does look epic.
