Wind Phenomenom
Sandstorms
Sandstorms are very harmful to humankind they are the number 3 weather condition that can cause serious harm to people in the US. During the 1960s eight sandstorms caused some serious damage 13 more in the 1970s 14 in the 80s and more than 20 in the 1990s. Australia was having problems with sandstorms. They cost Australia about $20 million a year in medical bills because of asthma and respiratory disease which is thought to be caused by sandstorms. So what causes sandstorms?
How are sandstorms caused?
Sandstorms occur when winds strengthen to the point where they’re able to lift grains of sand off the ground and blow them through the air. They tend to happen the most frequently in sandy areas such as deserts. For example, sandstorms are quite common in the Sahara Desert. Similar storms can arise in many areas around the world. When the top layer of soil consists primarily of dirt and rock rather than sand these storms are usually called sandstorms.
How to survive a sandstorm
So how do you survive a sandstorm? If you’re not in a place with any available buildings around to shelter you here are some tips. Don’t try to outrun it on foot. Wet a bandana or piece of cloth and place it over your nose and mouth you can use a shirt, sleeve, etc… Protect your eyes with your arm or a piece of cloth. Shield yourself from flying objects. If you’re in a car you can detour around it depending on the speed of it but a safer option is to just go find a safe place with shelter.
Black Sunday
Black Sunday was one of the worst dust storms in America’s history started as a bright clear sunny day it was April 14, 1935. People took advantage of this day by visiting people, going on picnics, aired out their house, and just enjoyed the day. But by 4 pm the skies turned black. Dust cloud came barreling on them without warning. It was so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. The cloud was over 1,000 miles long that’s 182 mount Everests or 17,600 football fields. Of those who survived that day, many came down with “dust pneumonia”. Much like a coal miner’s “black lung”, this was a build-up of dust in the lungs, leaving the sufferer with lifelong asthma and other respiratory ailments.
There are many types of weird and wild wind phenomenons hope this information report helped you understand a bit more about them and hope you enjoyed reading.
