Dust storm shrouds Greece and Libya in apocalyptic hues of orange and red

A dust storm on Tuesday evening turned skies red and orange in Benghazi and Derna, cities in northern Libya, Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea.

Videos showed scenes of apocalyptic orange and red skies, buildings, and trees. 

The dust storm was accompanied by winds as high as 45 mph (70 km/h) according to the Libya Observer.

On satellite, dust could be seen over a wide part of Libya's northern coast, stretching southward into the desert and northward to Greece.
