Dust Storm part deux

The morning started off nice and for a while we thought that there might be no second day of the great two-day-sandstorm, but the weather quickly deteriorated. The wind picked up, the sky turned brown, and my trailer sharted shaking. A summer dust storm in this region is called a "Shamal," which comes from the Arabic word for "north." Typically, dust storms here are carried by northerly winds. You can see a satellite view of what one shamal from last month looked like.
The shamal even got into the trailer and left a fine dusting on everything, including office equipment. Thank goodness I am switching to a toughbook laptop computer that is dust and sand resistant.
Other than that, nothing has come up missing so far today. I guess that makes it a good day...
...way better than yesterday.
