   SpaceX's Starship Kicked Up a Dust Cloud, Leaving Texans With a Mess   
      
   Residents of Port Isabel said that their city was covered in grime   
   following SpaceX's rocket launch on Thursday. The city said there was   
   no "immediate concern for people's health."   
      
   As the most powerful rocket ever built blasted from its launchpad in   
   Boca Chica, Texas, on Thursday, the liftoff rocked the earth and   
   kicked up a billowing cloud of dust and debris, shaking homes and   
   raining down brown grime for miles.   
      
   In Port Isabel, a city about six miles northwest where at least one   
   window shattered, residents were alarmed.   
      
   "It was truly terrifying," said Sharon Almaguer, who, at the time of   
   the launch, was at home with her 80-year-old mother. During previous   
   launches, Ms. Almaguer said she had experienced some shaking inside   
   the brick house, but "this was on a completely different level."
