A dust tornado-like storm was caught on camera near a road in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday (October 23).

In one eyewitness video, the column of dust towered over some vehicles and people who were traveling along the road. Bolts of lightning could also be seen striking the ground.

Reuters was able to verify the location of the video as mountains and vegetation match file imagery and by metadata of original file. Reuters was also able to verify the date by metadata of original file.
