Red sky at night

The other night I was sitting at home when I could sense a storm coming on. The wind started to pick up and people where quickly running about the courtyard picking things up and bringing them inside. When I stepped out into the courtyard I could see that the sky was red. There was a strange glow in the early dusk and a tint of burnt orange and rusty red. As the wind grew fiercer so did the shade of red. Soon everything appeared red and you had to protect yourself from the wind. The red sand of the earth had become the air and sand was everywhere and on everything. It was incredibly beautiful. It didn’t last long as the clouds opened up and the rain poured like giant water balloons.

Apparently a few years ago they had a storm here that was so fierce and that brought so much sand that people stayed inside for 2 days. Once the storm had past there was so much sand on the roads you couldn’t drive and everything had to be dug out. Kind of reminds me of snow storm, but the sand won’t melt!
