Ha! I was in the middle of the Namib Desert and didn't hear a thing about it until a week later. I remember the day well. I went to the fuel stop/general store in Solitaire, Namibia to pick up some supplies. They had a chalkboard out front with headlines. It read, “Big storm in US - 1 million dead”. I didn't buy it at the time, but it was pretty startling. A couple of days later I was able to call my wife and get some better information.
