Sand Storm...

Well today we had our first full blown sand storm.  It was just like out of a movie.  People would come into the office and their hair would be gray and their clothes covered with dust.  When I walked to the dining hall, everyone had their faces and heads covered up.  It was like walking in fog (kind of).  The wind was blowing so it was cool outside.  I'm working the night shift so it was midnight.   The place is pretty lit up so its not like walking alone in the dark. (well not exactly).  But tonight it looked so spooky with the lights creating such shadows in the dust BUT the fact that it was so dusty kept the glow from the lights down low and it looked like daytime.  Weird???  We eventually had to turn off the a/c units in the office because it was creating a fog in the office.  There is a layer of dirt on everything.  You can actually write on the desk, and we've cleaned everything off a couple of times already.  I'll be so glad to get to my room and take a bath.  Wonder how dusty my room is...thank goodness I made my bed!!!  Now that I've experienced a dust storm, really don't care to be in another one.
