When a sandstorm–or haboob–is coming, the wind whips up to a frenzy. It blows so hard and the sand is so fine, it will still find its way under the doors and into the apartment somehow. If you happen to be driving when one hits, it’s pretty unbelievable, and the visibility is zero! If you can watch from your window….it’s pretty cool, but it feels a little bit like being Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
