UM-Bot Posted February 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Residents of the New Mexico town have found their homes buried underneath mountains of dried up plants. Well known for being the site of the world's most infamous UFO incident, Roswell has lately been subjected to an invasion of a different kind - thanks to a recent spate of high winds the town has been slowly disappearing underneath huge quantities of tumbleweed.

rashore Posted February 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well, at least it's lighter than trying to move snow that deep, lol. I wonder what they do with them once they are removed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshadow60 Posted February 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I can remember in Arizona that if you left the garage door open you were at times likely to end up with a garage full of tumbleweed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshadow60 Posted February 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't think anyone wants to land in tumbleweed. It's rough, dry and prickly. Of course, it could be some kind of very special tumbleweed that only grows in New Mexico around the Roswell area that is custom-made for aliens to land on.

Finity Posted February 4, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Looks bad, but at least it's not water.

Eldorado Posted February 4, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Tumbleweed reminds of Phil Spector for some reason. http://www.argotpictures.com/images/AgonyEcstasy/Print_stills/Phil_Spector_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rashore Posted February 5, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Seriously though... What do they do with all the tumbleweed? I would have to imagine you can't just openly burn the stuff, that would be a super hazard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted February 6, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) The big question is... Why do these weeds stop tumbling when they get to this particular town? I smell an alien plot. . Edited February 6, 2014 by acute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
