A dust storm is a severe weather condition where strong winds lift large amounts of dust into the air, reducing visibility significantly. It's like a sandstorm, but with finer particles. 🌬️ Imagine driving through a thick, brown cloud where you can barely see anything—that's a dust storm. They can cause respiratory problems and damage infrastructure. These storms are common in arid and semi-arid regions. Unlike a dust devil, which is small, a dust storm covers a wide area. Visibility can drop to near zero!
