Late that night
| Description: | The sandstorm got bad at 2pm, and peaked at 5pm shaking the deuce from side to side. Then at about 7pm it sounded like somewas dropping gravel on the roof. It was raining drops the size of marbles, in 2 minutes everything had turned to mud. The rain carried on till about 11pm when I went outside to survey the damage. The sky would occasionally flash light enough for me to snap a pic. There was no sound to the flashes so they were either a distant firefight or more likely a storm of static discharges in the dust. | | Location: | Cedar 1, Iraq |
