Be Thankful You Weren't Born In Iran And Have To Deal With Sandstorms Straight Out Of The Bible
TEHRAN – A huge sandstorm and record winds has killed at least four people in Tehran, plunging Iran’s capital into darkness during rush hour and forcing thousands to run for cover. The freak weather struck at 5.10pm local time, knocking down trees and sweeping debris across streets and into the windscreens of cars.State media reported 70-mile per hour winds at the peak of the disruption. Power supplies were knocked out in at least 50,000 homes, an electricity official said, and the weather smashed windows and caused telecommunication towers to topple and masonry to fall off buildings.Forecasters initially warned Tehranis to stay indoors, shortly before the ISNA news agency said the fatalities had been caused by falling trees.Amin Saberinia, Iran’s chief emergency official, announced the deaths and said at least 27 people were injured, 10 of them in a road accident when the gloom suddenly descended.State television later reported that two of those injured in the storm were in critical condition.
Holy shit. Literally. We may have our problems over here in the good ol’ US of A but at least we don’t have to worry about Allah letting one rip that results in a 100 ft sand tsunami that blocks out the sun. Well, not since The Dust Bowl.
No wonder Revelations was written like a Micahel Bay movie on roids. Seeing this type of stuff regurally in the Middle East would make anyone fear the wrath of God. Let’s just hope it ends here and the world isn’t in line for disasters of Biblical Proportions. We’ve finally moved out from under I-95 and discovered life might be somewhat worth living. Can’t exactly handle 40 years of darkness, human sacrifice, with dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.
