A sandstorm is a kind of strong wind that blows over the desert. It raises sand and dust into the air and makes it difficult to see the sun and it reduces visibility of most to zero. It is also known as a dust storm. Some storms are usually the result of convection currents（对流气流）caused by the strong heating of the ground. Then wind is usually strong enough to move a small hill of sand. It can make travel very difficult and can even destroy roads in flat dry areas such as those in the United States.

The Simoom is the strong hot wind that comes across the Sahara and Arabian desert. This wind is the reason for much of the dust in the air over Europe. Evidence（证据）of the dust from Simoom wind has also been found at the bottom of the sea at a long distance from the shore.

Alasksi is the strongest sandstorm. It can destroy all the things in his way. It is very dangerous. It has killed more than one hundred people in the area. The Haboob is a sandstorm that often happens in the area of Sudan around Khartoum. Sandstorms, the height as 5,000 ft (1,525m), also happened, although not often in the United States. It is stronger than the Simoom. One that appeared near Tucson, Arizona, on July 16, 1971, was widely proved by meteorologists.（天文学家）。

Nature’s warnings

When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are scary. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don't wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.

Safety Steps

At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚）for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.

Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.

Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don't! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.

If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing.

Lightning Strikes

Lightning does not strike people very often. It is not likely that you will ever see that happen. If you do, call 1-2-0. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lighting.

If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm.
