Sand Storm, 26 April 2005. Al Asad, AFB, IRAQ

Better known as a haboob-"A penetrating sandstorm or dust storm with violent winds, occurring chiefly in Arabia, North Africa, and India."

One minute into the haboob...and it's dark out!



Thanks to all the brave men and women that are serving our country...and have to endure this, too!

WOW Bruce! Thanks for posting. We live pretty good here in this country. 2-3 weeks the 228th National Guard Unit should be on US soil.
