poo was crazy man. They say it was 5 miles wide and a mile high.

Turned the entire sky pitch black and I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me. There's still dust everywhere today.

[Floppin]

It was even bigger than that, it was 100miles wide and moved at 60mph.

Seemingly out of nowhere, the 100-mile-wide storm moved like a giant wave, the dust roiling as it approached at up to 60 mph. Once it hit, visibility dropped to zero in some areas, the sky turned nearly black, trees blew sideways, and even downtown Phoenix skyscrapers became invisible.

Here are some pics of a Sand Storm when I was in Al Asad.

I didn't take these pics, call me a "half-a-sissy" but I was safely indoors. The guy who did was nuts and got as many as he could before running into the shelter.
