A dust storm similar to special effects on the big screen bellowed across
the western desert of Iraq on April 26. The storm was spawned near the border
of Syria and Jordan.
Forward Operating Base Korean Village experienced tornadoes around
2 p.m. The storm moved in a northeasterly direction until it reached Al
Asad, around 6:45.
As the storm moved closer the sky changed to a shade of orange until total
darkness blanketed the ground. The storm passed over in about 45 minutes,
leaving a heavy sheet of dust in its wake. Forecaster say the wall of dust
may have reached 4,000 to 5,000 feet.
This dust storm was a spectacular sight and may look worse than it actually
was. No one was injured and no equipment was damaged here.
