We have had several sandstorms in the past two months. This was how we found our house when we got back from church. Everything was covered in a thin layer of very fine sand. The picture is of my notebook after I picked up the pen that was resting on it. This amount of sand gathered in our house over a three hour period with all of our doors and windows CLOSED. After this Jon did a lot of work to add extra weather-stripping to the doors, but it only helps a little. When sand storms are going, you just want to climb in bed and cover your mouth with the sheet. You can feel the dust as you breath and your lungs end up feeling like sandpaper.
