If, as it appears from “Ill winds,” dust storms are so important, and if they can be tracked from space, it would seem as though the weather bureaus should give dust storm warnings, as they do for hurricanes, tornados, and thunderstorms. It might be difficult to get across to government bureaus that this is important, but those afflicted with breathing problems would appreciate it.
