SkyWatch: Domed Mall

When the sun is setting, I like to go up on the rooftop of our building and enjoy the breeze, the lights beginning to turn on about the city, and the sunset, of course. With so much wind and dust the past few months, there haven't been many spectacular sunsets at all. This dome-shaped building is actually a large shopping mall in Jeddah styled after the Capitol Building in Washington DC.

SkyWatch: When Will This Dust End?

Since January 2012 I have lived on the 6th floor of an apartment building in Jeddah. I'm able to see out the windows or from the rooftop for miles and miles.

If I cannot see the mountains in the distance, I know that the wind and dust is very bad that day. Some days I can only see for a couple of blocks.

This year by far has had the worst winds and dust storms since I moved here four years ago.

It has lasted for months now. On really bad days, school has been canceled and emergency rooms have been flooded with people who have respiratory problems.

Besides my breathing difficulties, trying to keep the house free of fine layers of dust everywhere is also a big problem.
