(Letters).If, as it appears from "Ill winds" (SN: 10/6/01, p. 218), 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 thunderstorms a storm characterized by thunder and lightning caused by strong rising air currents; identified as agents of animal disease because of their involvement causing (1) spasmodic colic; (2) lightning strike; (3) injuries of cattle acquired in stampedes initiated by storms. . It might be difficult to get across to government bureaus that this is important, but those afflicted af·flict tr.v. af·flict·ed, af·flict·ing, af·flicts To inflict grievous physical or mental suffering on.
