It’s sandstorm season in the Middle East, and it looks really shitty!

Getting hit in the face with sand hurts, the sand can get in your eyes and nose and cause allergy-like reactions, and if you’re asthmatic, good luck. Believe it or not, Anakin was right!

Now, a major sandstorm has hit several Middle Eastern countries — and the results are pretty dramatic.
