Crikey, always knew sandstorms were harsh, but that is a million miles away from what i thought it would be like.
 
Yikes! We have sandstorms in Phoenix, but nothing like that!
 
wow! Nice captures and scary storm! They're supposed to come from the sky, not the ground. Silly nature! :)
 
I knew what they were like from youtube and stuff:

but those are some kewl shots. If you put your camera in a new zip-lock bag and set up the shot before they hit (and I hear they hit often) you can get some really neat shots of the Sun and around the camp floods that come on. Wear your mask! :D
