dust storm \dust" storm`\ (d[u^]st"st[^o]rm`), n.
   A strong windstorm that lifts particles of dust or dry soil
   into the air and blows them around, covering land or objects
   with a thick layer of dust. Dust storms may occur in arable
   areas during periods of drought; when a similar storm occurs
   in a desert area, such a storm is called a sandstorm.
