More on the sandstorm


Remember that sand storm we had recently? I'm still trying to clean up the dust in my house. I wipe up the dust and it seems like in only a few minutes it looks as if I've never dusted. NASA's Earth Observatory has some really interesting pictures and commentary about the storm. Click on the image above to have a look. It's really quite fascinating! Posted by Picasa

    Yes Hale it was red. The whole event was eerie! So strange, almost as though we were on another planet.

    Not sure about the rainstorms in Algeria, but usually after big sandstorms it's followed by rain. Which is nice because it helps to clear the air. We weren't so lucky with that last storm here in Tripoli, but it did finally rain today and it's expected to rain tomorrow too.
