Dust storm. A dust storm (or sandstorm in some contexts) is a meteorological phenomenon. Such a storm is usually the result of convection currents created by intense heating of the ground.

In 1932, the weather bureau reported 14 dust storms. In 1933, the number of dust storms climbed to 38, nearly three times as many as the year before. At its worst, the Dust Bowl covered about 100 million acres in the Southern Plains, an area roughly the size of Pennsylvania. Dust storms also swept across the northern prairies of the United States and Canada, but the damage there couldn't compare to the devastation farther south.
