The cleanup wasn't too bad, just a lot of sweeping. No damage in this event. The dust storm on July 5 was much worse. Two light singles that weren't tied down at the FBO took an uncommanded flight through the perimeter fence.
As for the AEP, we are not Part 139 so FAA doesn't review it but there is a section for severe weather events. Here in the desert that means big thunderstorms and dust storms like this one. As you write in your blog, there's not a whole lot to do but hunker down and wait for it to pass.

I bet the clean up was horrible. I wrote a little blog about it with a cool video. Does the FAA want you to include this in your AEP.
