Lightning!

We get so little weather here that a lightning storm is downright exciting.

As the rainless storm passed through it kicked up a lot of sand. Visibility dropped to less than a block and it felt I was being pelted with tiny razors. Needless to say, the contacts I put in yesterday are toast.

Time for a shower. The sand is embedded in my skin.

Update: The storm was rainless where I was, but it flooded the eastern part of the city. Mike was returning from Dubai and had to be diverted because the road was flooded.
