Whoever thought that sand can devour a whole city? I used to think that
sand storms could only be seen in movies or cartoons. It never occurred to me that this drastic phenomenon happens in the deserts all the time.

Sand storm develops whenever a very strong wind passes over the desert. The great force is able to whirl sands. Whichever is the origin of the wind, still sands will not escape from being brought up and accumulated. This is such a very astounding event, since people living in the desert have no choice but to let the storm pass. Just imagine the sand entering from every openings of the house. Add to that the hazard posed to the people of catching
eye irritation.
I feel very fortunate that I live in a neighborhood with beautiful landscape sans the sands. I cannot help but wonder how our brothers in Iran or the
great Indian continent was able to survive whenever sand storms attack their countries. Adapting to the natural phenomenon required them to build sturdy houses. Based on the footages I've seen taken from the recent sand storm in Iran, it was definitely clear that they suffer just like that of tropical storm victims. Only, their houses do not get washed away.
