Hehehe, yeah I meant WITHOUT the face! I have a ton of pictures of the damn thing already. It was incredable.
And yes, we DID have to clean up afterwards. I run the LAN for my squadron and dust is very bad for my equipment. You could see the dust blowing through all the cracks in the windows and building. I stayed outside for just a minute to snap a picture but you cant see, its almost completely dark, and the air is so thick with dust its hard to breathe.
What was really weird about it was that we watched it come at us for like 20 minutes. This huge wall of sand and dust, but where we were there was NO wind at all. It was like quiet and calm. But you knew there was some coming. When it hit it was gale force. Crazy stuff. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
