Sand storms in Iraq

My husband is a Weather Forecaster in the Air Force and is serving in Iraq right now. Weather is a major factor over there. Steve has been super busy with storms the past 2 days. He shared a link with me of what sand storms are...I could never have imagined this! I guess they last for days and it's just dark. Just click http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBfiw_ntH4 Steve did not tape this, someone else did...it was on youtube but this is at his base in Iraq.
