ArabiaWeather.com - Sinan Khalaf - The residents of the State of Kuwait will never forget the moments of terror they experienced on the 25th of March of the year 2011, when a "wall" sandstorm hit them, blocking the sun's rays and turning a beautiful day into a dark night within minutes.
A unique adventure experienced by the photography management team at the Kuwaiti Royal Scientific Club in Barr Al Subiya, when they were dazzled by the impenetrable dust dam that appeared on the horizon to advance rapidly towards them.
A scene that cannot be overlooked, and must be documented, so it was only for them to point their cameras at the wall storm, to find themselves, within quick minutes, trapped in the middle of the strongest sandstorm that hit Kuwait.
Within a few minutes, the day turned into night, and the sun of fire disappeared under the tons of dust falling on them from the sky, and with the raging storm and their entry into the danger phase, the youth of the forum found no place to take refuge except their cars, which also could not protect them from the dust particles that were infiltrating through the narrowest openings. To catch their breath.
The club's youth did not imagine that their journey would end with a dirt bath that covered their bodies with a layer of sand that would not disappear except with a refreshing water bath. Watch with us those exciting moments that the club's youth lived through, moment by moment, via the video attached above.
