Dust Storm

I got to see the coolest dust storm yesterday evening. It was a massive haboob, arabic name for such storms, that was 50 miles wide. I watched it from my house as it come up from the south. It was a wall of dirt and dust probably close to a thousand feet high. It was a little creepy because it was silent as it moved towards me and then it hit. There was so much dust; I could feel it in my mouth and all my clothes were covered. It got so dark that the street lights turned on. It was awesome!
