Watch rare, powerful sandstorm exfoliate Dubai

​Life in Dubai imitated big-budget art yesterday when a freakish sandstorm stung Dubai. Watch as some crazy dudes brave similar weather featured in the latest Mission Impossible flick. Sure we're worried about all the sand particles they're inhaling and the threat to their retinas - but we're equally concerned about damage to their smartphone screens. Experts say blinding sandstorms are rare in Dubai but frequently blast Saudi Arabia and Iraq. This one certainly took the city by surprise: "Really bizarre weather in Dubai right now," tweets @hrhcandy while @MiriamAlBloom writes, "I'm making another Mission Impossible movie with this sandstorm in Dubai, your days are over Tom Cruise."
