A terrifying sandstorm engulfed homes in Algeria.

Footage shows the towering cloud of dust moving across the residential area in Touggourt Province on Wednesday, December 3.

Strong winds whipped up loose sand, cutting visibility as the dust storm swept toward Hassi Messaoud and Ouargla, in the Sahara region.

These intense sandstorms, also known as dust storms, occur when a combination of drought and strong winds whips up loose sand and dirt from arid and desert regions. The powerful gusts pick up the material, lifting it into the atmosphere and creating thick, blinding clouds that can travel for hundreds of miles.
