Amelia Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 []http://cdn-channels.netscape.com/gallery/i/p/popular050305/apohcomrr_CORRECTION_IRA_14.jpg[/] In this picture released by the U.S. Marine Corps Wednesday, April 27, 2005, a dust storm, similar to special effects on the big screen, is seen bellowing across the western desert, near Al Asad, Iraq, on Tuesday April 26. The storm was spawned near the border of Syria and Jordan. Weather forecasters here described the dust storm as a downburst. The ensuing storm increased energy as the winds pushed over the desert, which created a wall of dirt. Weather officials said that a downburst this strong is extremely rare for this region of Iraq. The storm passed over in about 45 minutes, leaving a heavy sheet of dust in its wake. Forecaster say the wall of dust may have reached 4,000 to 5,000 feet.
