Home > Sandstorm


A sandstorm is a low-level atmospheric disturbance caused by a strong wind carrying sand particles through the air. They are typically no more than fifty feet above the ground, and are most typically about ten feet high. Surface heating causes sandstorms during the day, and they usually end by nightfall.
