Respect to the traffic controllers. They could risk their lives directing traffic helping people racing away from the storm.

The only thing lacking is Imhotep's face roaring toward the city.

If this was in a movie , people would complain that it's B grade CGi.

As an Australian, I can tell you that when you see a dust storm heading towards you, you realise just how small you are compared to something so outrageous..

There's flood, wildfire, sandstorm. Mother nature really is mad at us huh

The cops there directing traffic are really brave souls

That's how Interstellar becomes a reality.

This is how post apocalyptic movies start out.

It is deeply disturbing for me, a Chinese, to see that there are people in the comment section which use such horrid language to discriminate against us and being happy about this natural disaster which as adversely impacted the lives of the people and may cause damage to the historical cultural artifacts in this city of great prominence. Sure our last generation may have not been the eco-friendliest but the younger Chinese are catching up; I have became vegetarian and I take public transport more than ever to allow for environmental protection. I wish the best for the great people of the city of Dunhuang, which I have visited and the people are the most friendly. The people that feel happiness at the suffering of others? Not so much.

Fact:-every country is suffering from natural disasters now .

Wow that is crazy scary. Imagine you’re literally driving and suddenly getting blasted by this storm with no warning.

in Kuwait we have Desert Storm every year so recommend people to stay in their home and close the window and doors with the tape so the dust can't came in the house and if you in the road you should to drive slowly I hope everyone safe

Chinese battle royale announcer be like: Sandstorm is closing in, get to the safe zone.

At this point , even nature is tired of humans.

Congratulations, You just entered the cinematic universe of interstellar

So... that scene from Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is real. Wow. Nature is amazing

Although the Extreme weather conditions like floods in Henan province is a once in few hundreds years flood, just like the snow storm in Texes, but natural disasters happen often in China due to the massive territory and various different ecosystems. Japan and Taiwan for example experience earthquake often, and California experience high volume of wild fire , or high frequencies of tornadoes in west part of America it all happens due to the geographical location.

this looks so terrifying

Stunning visuals and well done for capturing the footage of the Sandstorm coming in.

Jeez…this is so frightening. Didn't know that China has a desert region & that they experience sandstorm & that huge!…as huge as in the Middle East!😯

Ah yes, 2020 strikes again. More floods, and sandstorm

Everyone in movie when a sandstorm is spotted: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Everyone in real life when a sandstorm is spotted: hold up let me get a pic first

I don't know much about sand storms, but that looks amazing

This reminds me a lot of the dust storm scene in Dune, except the dust wasn't moving at a deadly speed

Reminds of that dust cloud problem they had on Interstellar

Dunhuang is desert area! I wouldn’t be surprise sandstorm came to visit!

Stay safe everyone. Praying for your safety. From Philippines

There was another video on this channel where an old Chinese couple were making it their mission to plant as many trees 🌳 in the desert 🏜 to help prevent these sandstorms from happening again , I think more ppl should contribute to helping them.

One side there is hot&dry sandstorms otherside torrential rain& floods...Le-corona::l am not VIP anymore😪

Maybe some issue with my brain, I even want to be there and have a look.

It looks just like the ones we would occasionally have when I lived in Casa Grande, Arizona -- 2000 to 2003. Such sand storms plus summer temperatures sometimes above 120 F degrees made for a very unique experience that I don't miss at all.

86% less precipitation. Startlingly amazing

This is very common in rajasthan,India Every year 4-5 times this storm comes in North Western rajasthan.

Its near Gobi desert, so this can be expected

Sandstorm darude starts playing while they get to safe zone.

*The sand storm meme with the dog face came true*

Nature is Almighty Power,can do anything...

Allahu Akbar

Salute to the camera man!

I feel sad this looks terrifying

Kali yug😢. No one can stop it now.

Stay safe & Well 🙏

It's in the middle of the Gobi Desert. I expect it is a frequent occurance.

I'm here for the music, it's amazing

We get haboobs here in Arizona, but that is crazy!

Karma never leave anybody...... never mess with NATURE

That must be terrifying it's like a scene out of a movie

my condolences for all the pain and suffering 😢😢😢👁

Regardless of my views of the chinese government. Those people who suffer and gain from the system are targeted by such uncommon force. May these natural aggressions be a mere warning, rather than a declaration.

The background music should be darude sandstrom

I'm so sorry for China, may the innocent people stay safe.

What's the title of the soundtrack used in this video?

Altho I know it's real and bad.. but first scene where the sandstorm is engulfing the city looks like an awesome cgi

First it was the floods .now sandstorm.

Prayers for the families and people going through this 🙏

It really kills me to see: "Experts" says it's global warming. As if the issue of warmer climates is so miniscule, only "experts" can tell us.

Even in video while its coming looks fearsome

On one side China is drowning in floods, on the other side sand storms arising due to dry weather. Don't know what to name this🙁🙁🙁For them corona is not a big deal anymore. They suffered worser than us. #savechina

What in the Oblivion is that? May the Divines protect us.

Hethil hi chu Nikum ami tawh kha ni lawm mi?

Imhotep is showing anger on the cast of The mummy 3.

The worst has yet to come all over the world. 🙏

When someone blasting Darude in full volume.

🤔🤔🤔 *a "natural calamity"... or "weather is changing"... or "the day of the Lord is near"...* 🙏

That place is near a desert,So I don't think it's surprising

Is this normal? Does this happen annually?

What is a sand storm

Is this real - the sand cloud fast approaching shown in the starting few seconds?

Request : Guys weather change is real and its not limited to china only "Extream weather" is happening frequently these days all around the globe, Now its time to focus on climate change seriously and take steps to preserve nature, Because who knows next city to be hit, Could be yours..!

The new Battlefield 2042 map looks great!

Other locations got rain to the point of flooding like crazy they barely get a drop and fierce sandstorms

I've experienced it once in cairo...its bad...really bad...we have to duck tape every windows side n doors so the sand wont get inside our apartment...the sound of the sandstorm is still inside my head even after 32 years...still really scary...

time for justice to come..

First flood, then tornado, then typhoon and now sandstorm. What's happening in china??

What happened to the green wall?

This happens every year it even happens in Phoenix, ARIZONA every year.

It is like seeing a horror movie🙄stay safe

Sleeping giant was angry because disturbed by bad treatment in nature of people..

That's a level 2 alert? Jeez, how bad does the air get????

It is near the Gobi

Don't be fooled, this isn't a normal sandstorm. The Empire is testing the Death Star's single reactor ignition

In such conditions people should ON the lights while driving.

First thing that came in my mind was : Interstellar

this happened in southern texas once

That should be case with the china 😂😂😂😂😂

This is great

Is the visuals in the video are real or graphics ?

Tbh its so scary and terrifying

Locust plague DLC coming up next week

Seems like weather is no longer just a sidekick.

It will be a crucial matter to reforestation of the desert as a berrier to resist/reduce the wave of sand storm.

it's cool to witness the natural phenomena, but terrifying at the same time

This is nature's equivalent of tear gas and pepper spray. Don't do unto others what you don't want done to you....Confucius.

If that is a yellow warning imagine a red

I never experienced most of these natural disasters for example an earthquake until I left Africa, I only used to see earthquakes, sandstorms, tornadoes, etc on tv or other social media platforms .

what’s the name of the song?

So finally everyone forgot Corona 😂

With the floods and the sand blowing, all they need to do is throw some straw in with it and they can make some bricks to rebuild their cities! LOL

Weather's getting alot wilder nowadays... When I was a child the sun was just hot, but now it literally burns. And that was just 8 years ago

14mm to 2mm.
