Sahara Sand Storms

A few weeks ago, after a rainstorm, we noticed a strange layer of rust-colored dirt all over the car. Swipe your finger through it, smear the rain-splattered drops, and the thick grit dissolved like orange kool-aid. The neighbor informed us that heavy winds brought Sahara sand across the Mediterranean and deposited it in Limoges. I hate to think what the winds would do if there was a mishap with one of the nearby nuclear reactors.
