'Day turned into night': Watch giant wall of dust swallowing China's Harbin as rare sandstorm darkens skies with 13-level winds, flying debris and near-zero visibility

Harbin, China, was struck by a severe sandstorm on Sunday, with winds reaching level 13, uprooting trees and reducing visibility to under 100 meters. The storm, fueled by a clash between unusually warm air and a powerful cold front, briefly turned day into night. Residents are warned of continued unstable weather, including potential tornadoes.
