Last week the residents of Riyadh city saw one of the wildest side of nature when in minutes the whole city was engulfed by a scary sand storm. It wasn’t one of the ordinary sand storms that are characteristic of Saudi dry weather tolerated quite easily by the locals. This yellow orange sand storm suddenly marked its presence in the afternoon out of nowhere.
This was one of the scariest high intensity sand storms ever in last 25 years. The storm with a height of 100 meters brought the city to a halt for nearly 3 hours. Visibility reduced to 3 meters only. The residents had to take necessary precautions to avoid health conditions.
Though next day was a lucrative day business for most of car washers when most residents rushed to them after a heavy sand fall.
