sand storm 11 1 2016

This was the weather yesterday in the late afternoon. We were very lucky to have 20 mm of rain afterwards. We still needs lots of rain.

Looks rather dramatic. Hoping for more rain to come.

@gijsje Thanks hope so. Sun is shining all day.

[Mek]

Sounds like also hope...

Hi Sylvia. I am back. Saw some photos of the Bloem area during our holidays - cannot believe what it looks like :-(. Pray that there will be rain in the next few days. May 2016 be a good year for you, filled with everything you dream of

[Richard]

Wow...the photos are amazing. Very glad to hear you finally got some rain and praying you will get more!

[Joan Robillard]

I'll take a snow storm first.

[Stephanie]

Amazing pictures Syliva... I can see just how dry the ground is. Glad to read you got some rain at last. I hope and pray there is more rain coming.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@moya So glad you are back safe and sound. Where did you visit in SA? Hope you enjoyed it.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@joansmor I agree rather snow. Although we do not know what a snowstorm is like.

[Ann]

I KNOW WHAT THAT IS ,,I GOT CAUGHT IN ONE 1 TIME WHEN WE WENT TO AZ. NOT FUNNY AND SCARY !! I HOPE I NEVER EXPERIENCE THAT AGAIN. AWESOME SHOTS.

[Stephanie Swift]

Very interesting pictures for people like me who have never seen a sandstorm.

[Henk-Jan]

Nice creation (and photos). I'm not familiar with sandstorms but rain after sand sounds like quite a mess...

[Pyrrhula]

Wonderful collage! That sky is so dramatic, and I really like all the different views of it.

[Gayle Sears]

Nice, dramatic collage.

[Sandy]

Dramatic looking collage. Hope you get more rain.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@hajeka You bet. After the rain you wash every thing!

[MoyaC]

@sdutoit We were in Pretoria and Eastern Free State

[plainjaneandnonnonsense]

Fabulous capture, totally encapsulate the drama.

[alia_801]

[Babs]

[Pam]

[Jaroslav Šulc]

Dramatic clouds.

[Vesna]

Very interesting, I have never seen a sandstorm.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@vesna0210 Vesna it is still this dry! We had little bit of rain every now and then. 5 mm at a time. This is the worst drought since 1900 I read somewhere. Our plants find it very hard to survive. The poor animals as well. They are collecting bottles of water donated everywhere. Some towns are without water. We do pray for rain every day.

[Vesna]

Last few years weather is crazy everywhere in the world. Here too. In one day I can see all seasons... But I notice that climate becomes warmer.
