I was unaware that a sandstorm could extend out over water. I just learned something. Thank you for the video! ;-)

My 1st thought.
Curious as to how far off shore they were?

“I was unaware that a sandstorm could extend out over water.”

Wind dynamics can do crazy things. A tornado dropped a singlewide mobile home close offshore in the Panhandle area, and I went diving on it. The roof was gone, the furniture was all arranged as normal, dishes in the sink, and to my pleasure there was beer in the refrigerator. It became great structure for fish, and I surprised a buddy when we went there to catch pinfish for bait, asked him if he’d like a beer. Dove in the water and fixed us up.

Where do you think sand on the beach comes from? :-)

Years ago I saw a satellite image of a Saharan sand storm blowing all the way to the USA.

Impressive. Looks so easy in the video but I’m told landing on a carrier is among the most difficult feats, even without adding a sandstorm.
