Sandstorm

Sandstorms (also known as dust storms) are meteorological phenomenon that occur frequently in most arid regions of the wasteland. Sand storms arise when powerful winds blow loose sand and dirt from a dry surface, creating a massive and violent cloud of whirling particles. Sandstorms are known to be very dangerous, damaging eyes, cutting skin, and sometimes even choking individuals. Those that live in areas prone to sandstorms typically carry protective eyewear with them wherever they go. Some cultures even incorporate sandstorm protection into their traditions, like the pneumas of Husker society.
