    Last Tuesday, the residents of Lubbock, Texas encountered a "haboob" (pronounced “huh-boob” [Arabic: هَبوب‎ habūb "blasting/drafting"]).
    According NOAA National Weather Service, "...derived from the Arabic word haab, which means wind or blow, haboobs are very strong dust and sand storms that move through hot and dry regions."

  So for tonight's Net, we ask: How much do you know about Lubbock and its haboob?
  Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.   
      ++ "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #08: What's the Hubbub, Bubb?" ++
Question #1: What is the nickname for the City of Lubbock, TX?
        A. "The Peoples' Republic of Jed Clampett", or
        B. "Lubbock It, or Leave It", or

        C. "Hub City".

Question #2: One of Lubbock's popular historic and cultural venues is the Buddy Holly Center?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

Question #3: Lubbock is considered the hub of the Texas High Plains area which is the largest contiguous producing region in the world of a certain crop. What is the name of this crop -- which is also derived from an Arab word -- just like "haboob"?
        A. Artichoke, or
        B. Cotton, or

        C.
Cow.

++ QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY ++  
        -- Jody James (Lubbock NWS office) commenting on the word "haboob":

         "It is a word of Arabic origin. We have a lot of words like that, like algebra.., so whether we know it or not, we have a lot of Arabic words in our lexicon."
