A wall of sand gathers on the horizon, swiftly gaining momentum and mass, devouring everything in its path. As it approaches, those in the know scramble to their homes for protection, others cover their heads and mouths, and wait for the tempest to subside. For several hours, yellow engulfs the city. Then suddenly, the impetuous force behind this meteorological phenomenon calms. The mile-high cloud of dust once again settles on the land, back where it belongs.
The following are some of the most amazing images of it captured on camera.

My Daughter and her husband are stationed at Al Asad right now and last night I was asking her about the sand storms. She told me to google them so I did and to my surprise I found a lot of pics of a sandstorm right there in Al Asad from 2005. They are really good pics. I could not imagin being in the middle of some thing like that. My hat is off to all the milatery over there just for being there and especialy now seeing the sort of thing they have to endure.
