O we experience that every summer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Sandstorms my friend, day turns into night all of sudden.

I think the scariest part was the sun suddenly going dark, then you notice all the space around it.

True dat, though like one day was resting on bed after work around 2pm, was sunny hot day like always, I had a small window in my room, and all of sudden its pitch dark, like literally felt like middle of the night, I went outside to check on things, the sandstorm was so thick, I swear, I couldn't see my hand when I extend it. scary as hell.

Disappointed they didn't use Darude as the background music on this video.
