- vroom101, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1According to a blog post by Richard Landes titled "Sand Storm: Symbolic of...?" (May 13, 2007) the sandstorm "hit Israeli Negev from Sinai" in May 2007 and the photos "were taken from an altitude of 8,000 ft. the sand wall was about 4,000 ft high moving from the west to the east.": http://www.theaugeanstables.com/2007/05/13/sand-st ...

JamesJanega, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3This looks like something out of a movie. Saw a couple like it in the Mideast in the last few years. You see this silent wall approaching, and then it gets hazier and hazier, and then the air looks brown or red, and then you can't see 10 feet in any direction. It takes days to clear up.

And it never stops looking really really cool. Thanks for the picture!
