Scary! A sandstorm hit Cairo and swept the Suez Canal

Scary! A devastating sandstorm hits Cairo and washes over the Suez Canal.

A Cairo sandstorm turned the sky orange and killed at least four people.

A massive sandstorm on Thursday turned the sky over Cairo orange and sent a giant billboard crashing into a car, killing one person and injuring five, police and witnesses said.

There were three other fatalities caused by the storm, which created a massive traffic jam in the Egyptian capital and forced authorities to close two Red Sea ports.

Separately, footage posted online showed a giant wall of sand moving across a Cairo-Suez desert road, forcing panicked motorists to turn around and ride dangerously against traffic to avoid getting caught in the storm.

Authorities said they had closed the Red Sea ports of Suez and Zaitiyat in the face of 26 knot winds and waves up to 4 meters high. Sandstorms known as Khamasin are common in Egypt during the spring and early summer, but storms of this size are rare.
