Dust Storms
Dust storms on TerraPulse are organized into the dust Eventdex — one slot per event,
each a measured record of a dust-storm or blowing-dust event that actually happened, drawn from
the confirmed storm-event record. No estimates, no forecasts.

Provenance
Every event traces to the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database and the National Weather Service (NWS) — the confirmed-event record compiled from NWS forecast offices and field reports. That source is registered against the dex, so any record on TerraPulse carries a direct line back to its originating storm report.
What's in a record
Each event slot carries:
- Type — dust storm or blowing dust
- Location — latitude, longitude, county, and state
- Time — begin and end time, UTC
- Magnitude — visibility and wind where reported
- Impact — injuries, fatalities, and damage estimates
