These kind of vids/pics really do hammer home about the pathetic 'weather' we get here in the UK.

cumulus1978 · 3 Apr 2011 at 11:45

pathetic? I love the weather in uk, windy, not so hot in summer and not so cold in winter, here in switzerland too hot in summer and too cold in winter. And several days with heavy rain and snow...

something extremely depressing about that photo

cumulus1978 · 3 Apr 2011 at 13:44

more than depressive, I say destructive.

cumulus1978 · 9 Apr 2011 at 07:46

Yes, but it's not related, this sandstorm was in Kuwait, the accident in Germany. Anyway a incredible fatality.

Just seen the news report and that is horrific.

Craig1981 · 9 Apr 2011 at 12:01

Good lord! I had no idea they could be that destructive. I would have thought taking shelter in your car would have kept you safe until it passed

cumulus1978 · 9 Apr 2011 at 12:01

Yes they also speak of a sandstorm but isn't a really sandstorm.

Image of Rostock...

cumulus1978 · 15 Apr 2011 at 12:28

I've now seen, another sandstorm in Kuwait, this time with much more wind ( it seems ).

Woah!
Not the kind of thing to want to be caught in, Snow and Rain on your face is bearable, but sand, now that's just silly, and painful of-course

cumulus1978 · 6 May 2011 at 09:09

some new big sandstorms in the last days between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
