DESERT STORM!?!?!?

Just when you think you need the first chance to rush outta the office for the weekend a co worker comes up to open the window to reveal chaos unleash itself upon the city. As if out of no where Ras Al Khaimah is in the midst of a powerful desert storm - although its 2 pm afternoon the sky is darkened as though its mid evening.

It looks pretty grim outside and the roaring thunder and lightening doesn't add to the hospitability either.



Yep this is the view from my office window and theres really a lot underneath the rising dust


Considering that this picture is taken at 2 pm in the afternoon - its quite intimidating.


Gulf News has done a report on showers that struck Dubai last night. I guess it was a matter of time before we saw similar bad weather right here in RAK. For now I'm just waiting until the storm lulls. And to add to my issues - I missed lunch :(.
