Dust Storm

Yesterday we encountered our first major dust storm. My friend, Amy, and I were hosting 'Games Galore' as an after school activity when we saw the dust wall barreling towards us. Along with the dust came an electric lighting storm. We dismissed the kids early and had them run to their buses before the storm hit. Within 2 minutes the storm hit and with it came wild winds, heavy rain, and SAND! After the sand blew through, it continued to rain. Jordan and I ran to our car and headed home before the roads became rivers. Since Saudi Arabia is sand, when it rains, it floods. On our way home we encountered some deep 'rivers' in intersections, but we made it home safely.
