Lonely Planet

Major wind/dust storm taking place right now! The wind is blowing fiercely and making that ghostly oooooooh sound. Earlier, the sky was white as snow, but by the end of our walk around the campus, it was an eerie, deep blue sea shade made even more mysterious and extraterrestrial by the hazy orange Halloween-ish glow of the streetlamps. I was walking around with one eye open like a Cyclops, trying to keep the dust out of my eyes. I said it felt like we were on a different planet, but Val hit it on the nose when she said it felt like Hell. Minus the sunburned dude with the pitchfork.

Oh, during the sand storms watch out for the giant worms!

All the desert talk always makes me think of the book Dune.

Have you seen a sandstorm so bad that you can't go outside? Is there a season for that?
