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 1933, there were multiple dust storms that lasted seventy days. In 1935, it stripped away an estimated 850,000 tons of good topsoil, the same year that it drove 250,000 people from their homes. Cows were found dead, bellies loaded with dust. Wheat, corn, fruit trees, grass died during the eight years of drought.
