Here by Glimpses Known

We've been enduring a sandstorm for two days now. The house is covered in dust, except where we have walked it off, then you can see--in the feeble, filtered light--where no one treads or crawls because of the dirt accumulated there. And if anyone questions my housekeeping, fine, but don't question my housekeeper. :P  She does a great job and was just here on Monday.  Thankfully she comes again tomorrow, but if the storm is still raging, it'll be as dusty a couple of hours after she leaves. The old windows and doors are not barricades but sieves.... And I'm just back from closing the French doors that lead onto the front balcony. The wind is so strong and the latches so weak, the doors get blown open every so often (as do some of the windows), letting in yet another dusting of dust.

We endured a sand storm when I lived in Las Vegas. Horrible thing.

I hope yours ends soon and that you're able to get the sand out of everything.

(Don't know why I put dust instead of sand the first time around.)

They are really nasty things, aren't they? The dust/sand gets everywhere. And even if we call it a sandstorm, it really is more like dust, which makes it even more unpleasant because it is so fine and passes everywhere.
