“A Heavy Dust Storm turned Travel into Total Chaotic & Dusty Journey”
Hell of a Ride
The sky was blue with some shades of clouds, sun was shining and nature seems perfect for the short journey.
We started our journey in the scooter from home to highway and straight upto our destination.
When we begun our journey, everything was fine and align with our plan.
But while we traveled a bit, sudden changes in the nature occurred.
The wind flow started gradually speeding, the clouds started hijacking the sky and slowly the pretty vibrant nature turned darker and darker.
We thought it might rain or slow wind, but we were wrong.
We were not even in our midway of the journey and travelling through the highway, suddenly the wind flow boosted and dust erupted the journey.
The dust covered the whole highway and it turned darker and dangerous.
The headlights of every vehicles turned on and the hell of a ride begins.
We thought we can travel even in the dust storm.
But the dust stroke so bad that it was not possible to continue.
The strom was pushing our scooter while the heavy dust, mostly composing PM10 was continuingly striking our body, eyes and mouth.
Even the mask could not protect us.
So, we decided to pause our journey, get shelter and continue after everything gets normal. As seen in the video below, the dust and the storm was taking over of every vehicles.
The dust strom made the scooter uncontrollable, forcing us to put a break.
The heavy dust turned day into dark night at 2 PM.
The dust strom forced everyone to stop whatever they were doing to go to safe space.
The dust covered the road, trees, houses and everything.
Thankfully, the dust strom come to an end after total chaos for about 15 minutes.
There were a thick layer of dust everywhere when it ended.
Everything turned into brownish in color covered by the dust.
The wind flow back into normal but damage has been done.
