Dubai is famous for its man-made island, I'm just curious, is it possible that this storm was a man-made sandstorm as well?

[L121PTV]

@hasTee77 Hahha, i dont think so :D coz wind came from west side i guess? and there was small sand islands there, so it carried a lot of sand and did that..

If you want to see a big sandstorm in Dubai, watch "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol".

With just one degree F. in increase on earth's temperature, the ocean evaporates more water causing rains and wind in different forms and proportions. The current of air that surfaces the earth take different movements. The sun utself has sent more flares towards the earth this year. We are going through hard times weatherwise.

PS. I enhoyed the video very much. I hope they clean everything, for this dust is terrible for your AC conduits.
