FSURedFD 06-17-2007, 02:22 AM Just get an umbrella. Say No To Pistons 06-17-2007, 05:02 AM Takes "i can't see shit" to a whole new level. Onlyonthurs! 06-17-2007, 08:23 AM Holy BAGS OF SAND BATMAN!!! Terrh 06-17-2007, 09:33 PM wow, pretty. 2ndGen.Rocket 06-17-2007, 09:55 PM that's fucking awesome. I would be running for shelter though, wouldn't want to get hit in the face with that. Supper 06-18-2007, 07:27 AM sweet, I've seen quite a few pictures like that. A guy I work with at Park City was a HMMWV driver, he had some stories about sand storms. He said the most scared he ever was while over there was driving into a sand storm and visibility going to zero, couldn't even see the front bumper of the humvee anymore. Said a "green light" filled the cab, it was static electricity from the sand arcing onto the metal panels of the humvee. Supposedly has a picture of "green lightning" arcing between the antennas on the back. DarkAngelKamui 06-18-2007, 10:50 AM Cool pics, even if I was halfway expecting an article about Darude... wotnartd 06-18-2007, 12:18 PM Said a "green light" filled the cab, it was static electricity from the sand arcing onto the metal panels of the humvee.

I doubt it, this was the static electricity discharge from the sand particles themselves, not just electrical discharge from the air. I've experienced it going over the pass west of Denver but driving through fog. Instead of the electricty building up enough to cause lightning, it just grounds out the charge on your vehicle. If its bad enough it will completely trash your paint. wotnartd 06-18-2007, 12:59 PM I doubt it, this was the static electricity discharge from the sand particles themselves, not just electrical discharge from the air.

I need a retarded smiley... aznpoopy 06-18-2007, 01:37 PM Cool pics, even if I was halfway expecting an article about Darude... i bet im the only one who got that wotnartd 06-18-2007, 01:42 PM i bet im the only one who got that No, I was expecting something similar. Sandstorm is the extent of my techno knowledge. Animal 06-18-2007, 01:43 PM i bet im the only one who got that nope. Song's overrated IMO. DarkAngelKamui 06-18-2007, 01:45 PM No, I was expecting something similar. I took my guess because the title seemed too easy. "A sandstorm in Iraq worth covering? Don't they have those like every week?" nope. Song's overrated IMO. That's why I brought it up, actually. It's 2007, and it STILL gets played like it dropped a year or two ago... :mad: Vert8813B 06-18-2007, 01:54 PM Damn....think of all the people with sand in their vaginas now. |
