Never before??


Recently Iraq experienced a dust storm that was worst than anyone could remember. It was made possible in part by a drought that has made many areas more susceptible to dust. When the winds get up to over 17 miles per hour dust storms can start. In this case the winds were stronger than this for more than a week and this meant than many people had trouble breathing and many flights etc. were canceled. The people of Iraq don't need a dust storm after the war that has devastated their country.

Remember you can click on the pictures to make them bigger and in this case that will show you the Iraq/Iran boundaries etc.
