Here are some pics forwarded to me of a sandstorm approaching Al Asad Airbase, Iraq. Though I can’t vouch for the authenticity, I do know person who forwarded them and she knows the person who originally received them from someone in Iraq. Click each for a better look:
If anyone has any info on these, let me know. (and a hat tip to the reader who sent them in)

The sandstorm pics are incredible. I recently saw ‘Flight of the Phoenix,’ and the CGI sandstorm in that movie has nothing on this!
Been there – done that. That is an authentic sandstorm. :) We had oil smoke storms too that looked a lot like that, but darker.
…I kept scrolling down, looking for the face of the Mummy to pop out. *grin* Forget CG–the real thing is so much more impressive! Just looking at those pictures makes my eyes gritty and my skin dry. Yowza! –TwoDragons
