Sand Storm in Egypt

Yesterday around 5:00 pm, Egypt's sky turned into orange-yellow colour in cause of one of the worst sand storms i've ever seen here. Weird that we r also past the spring season already!

arrrrrrrrrrgh....i wish i had my camera to shoot it ...
aparently it was reddish because it was before sunset time so the illumination of the sky was reddish and thus the dust made that magical orange mode...
anywas i shouldn't lose my cam...but i'll get one soon...
nice photos by the way...although i don't know the particles on the lenses...is that dust?

Actually here in *3ady old Maadi* the color was really more brownish. It made me remember about 9 years ago when there was a REALLY bad dust storm that was REALLY red. THAT one scared the living daylights out of me. I thought it was a sign of the world ending or something. Alhamdulilah, life continues, and dust storms continue.

Actually that's wut everyone said about it ... "we thought it was the day of judgement" ... kinda makes you think ... hmm, if that scared the living daylights out of you and it's only a sand storm ... wut would it feel like in the actual day of judgement?!!! SubhannAllah!
