From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon where strong winds lift loose dust from arid and semi-arid regions, often transporting the particles long distances. These storms can continue hundreds of miles from their source, and can have drastic effects on human health, transportation, and society in general. This storm occurred in May 2005 over the Red Sea.
