Recent Sandstorm

I was able to snap this pic yesterday before it got too bad. This was just as the storm was rolling in ... before visibility got too bad. Shortly after I took this, vis dropped to about 50-75 meters.
When it got dark, it reminded me of snow at night ... you know how falling snow seems to reflect what little light there is at night? Seems to me it's the same way in a sandstorm (as long as there's external light -- like from a streetlamp).
In the morning, we had about 1/8" of "accumulation" on sidewalks & stuff. And then it rained! Good thing was, it was a fairly heavy rain, so most of the accumulation washed away and kept the dust down.
