Sandstorm (1/3)

I have made reference to sandstorms before, but the ones we have experienced so far haven’t been as bad as they reportedly get in the summer (like days of darkness with the sun totally obliterated). However, last night, on our way home to the DQ, suddenly the air was heavy with sand and the wind started blowing, and we couldn’t see very far ahead of us. A major boulevard that was a block away was barely visible. Then, to make matters worse, it started raining. The whole thing was a bit unnerving, but luckily we made it home without incident. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be out in a serious sandstorm.
