    Sandstorms are meteorological phenomena that occur in arid regions, characterized by strong winds carrying sand and dust across the surface. Powerful winds gusting over 25 mph pick up loose sand and soil, creating storms that can range from small local disturbances to massive continental events lasting several hours or days. During sandstorms, it is best to seek indoor shelter, cover exposed skin and wear goggles to protect from inhaling airborne particles.
