Saw some that lasted for days in the SW during the mid-50s. Wind would stop and you could not see a block away at noon. Then I saw a few really nasty ones in the MidEast. The one in AZ was nasty but at least it was windy and did not last long. The things can really mess up people with breathing problems! When really bad its like dense fog only it inhibits breathing, causes equipment to overheat and filters to clog up. As Dale said, blowing sand can scour the paint off a car and it can really pit your windshield even if the car is parked. Best bet is to get far off the road - beyond the shoulder if possible and wait for it to improve.
