Nyah Dust Storm (Feb 1st 2005)

 
(1) Inside bar during dust storm (2) outside bar after dust-storm had sub-sided


 (3) We couldn't get into the French couple's room to close their windows
 
(4) Front of Grand Hotel during Storm (5) Miriam in Windy Dust Storm

Never have I seen anything like it that went for such a long time! Thanks to Miriam, I now have some cool video images of the dust-storm. 5-8mb each: 
   
The storm went for over an hour and left dust all through our rooms, through the bar, uprooted trees, the metal parts of the roof flew off. I got caught in it, and myself and 2 Finland girls had to run back to the pub with our eyes shut, thankfully we weren't very far away. I feel sorry for anyone who got caught driving or walking, as it was so sudden! Duststorm3.avi is my favourite for showing the strength.
