thanks a lot Fabrice for your kind comment...actualy not about generaly storms, when we have strong wind from Africa there are some days you can see the yellow clouds and IF it rain...you must clean everything...but that was the first time that cloud cames from Africa sooooo closed to the ground so cover almost all over Greece, south Italy and even some more areas from other countries, my island is no far away from Sahara...:-)

thanks a lot Harry....nop...there wasn't any fire...just we are closed to Sahara desert and when the wind cames from there it gives us a bit of Sahara's ground hahaha....however that day was the strongest sandstorm even...and don't think that was strong wind...not sooooo strong, but our eyes was duzzled even some days after that...and EVEN that was for only about 5 hours...

wow, I thought sure ypu had tinted this yellow for effect. That is something else. I would think it would be rare for this to happen, what kind of sand does this island have/ I can't imagine you have got that much.... not like I do, though this year has been nearly sandstorm free with all the rain.

That weather cames time to time...but its difficult to see so strong yellow weather... that happen only once in my life... every year, some days looks softly yellow, that is because when we have winds that cames from south (that means from Africa and so ...Sahara) with some special way that wind takes sand with it and that sand can be at south Europe, Greece, Italy mostly and some times even Spain, Bulgary, Romania, Serbia...
not bad fealling on eyes (not so big sand) but tastes funny and somehow the atmospher smells too...
