the storm took us from day to night in one hour

Woke up this morning at 7am to go to the bathroom and I looked outside the window at blue skies and sunshine. Thought to myself it was a great day for the beach. Climbed back into bed closed my eyes for a little extra sleep in. Woke up at 8am to loud banging sounds. When I opened my eyes I was very surprised to see how dark the room was. I went over to the window, opened the curtains and got the fright of my life. The sand/rain storm that rolled in was unbelievable and unless you were awake at that time and got to see it for yourself you wouldn’t believe it. All of a sudden the sun was nowhere in sight and it was as if it was 8pm and not 8am anymore. It was completely dark. The street lights came back on, cars had their headlight on. While my husband thought it was “awesome” I was pretty scared… and Max was scared too. The wind was insane and when the dust left, the rain kicked in. What a freak storm this was. And about 15 minutes later it was still storming but at least it was light.

Below are some photos my friend sent me.

Thanks Mirella.

Hello world!

Hello world,

My name is Lindy-Ann, and I am a first time blogger. Why did I decided to write a bunch of stories to entertain a bunch of people I don’t know? Because I can.

But maybe also to show the world in a different light. When you think of Kuwait I bet you don’t think of rainy weekends and green grass. But that’s exactly what this past weekend was about.

Here are a few pictures I took from my apartment at sunrise just before taking Max the dog for a walk.
