Sandstorms have been a major disaster for many Asian countries for centuries. Northwest China is part of the sandstorm center in Central Asia. Sandstorms begin in desert areas. This is a process that happens when land becomes desert because of climate changes and because people cut down trees and dig up grass. It was frightening to be outside in a sandstorm. I was in a very big sandstorm some years ago. Luckily, everyone survived.
