As a result the area is experiencing extensive soil destabilization contributing to massive sand and dust storms on lands that have been stripped of protective natural vegetation and soil consolidation. While not only detrimental to the health of area residents these storms continue to cause severe property damage and roadway hazards due to limited visibility.
