8 people killed in Utah sand storm
It appears that at least one RV was destroyed in this tragic incident. More than 20 vehicles were involved and a contributing factor was a sand storm. We pray for all those involved.

I don't know what sandstorms are like.
Here in SW MN if there are going to be whiteout conditions in the winter it is announced on the TV and radio ahead of time.
That's not to say that there can't be a temporary whiteout conditions on a windy day as you pass a snowbank on the side of the road. In those conditions it's best to just take your foot off of the gas and keep going until you get past it.
But, a sandstorm caused by a thunderstorm would be hard to predict I bet.
