According to the photographer Eviathar ben Zedeff (link), the sand wall is over 4,000 ft high: ![]() Dust Storm Israeli Negev Desert ![]() Dust Storm Israeli Negev Desert Sand Storm in Khartoum, Sudan: ![]() Sand Storm in Khartoum, Sudan ![]() Sand Storm in Khartoum, Sudan  Here is an alarming fact: sand storms now happen ten times more frequently than fifty years ago. For example, Mauritania had only two storms per year in the early Sixties, now it's more like EIGHTY a year. Sahara's sand is also being sent into the Atlantic at an accelerated pace (five times growth in one year, since 2006!) - however, this could be a good thing, according to Wikipedia, as it will cool off the ocean enough to slightly ease the ongoing 2007 hurricane season. ![]() Dust covers Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan: ![]() Dust covers Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan ![]() Dust covers Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan ![]() Storm in Phoenix, Arizona, USA ![]() The lamplighters brave the dust storm in Nevada desert  The next picture may look like an incoming dust storm, but it is just a cloud front.
