Dust storms cannot cause hurricanes, though some can have hurricane force winds. In fact, when dust storms blow out to seas they can actually suppress hurricane formation.

There have been a few cases where dust storms started fires. In some of those cases there was salt mixed in with the dust, this causes power lines to short circuit and catch fire.

Does burning fossil fuels cause more or less pollution than soil erosion dust storms and forest fires?

What are the differences in hurricanes and Willy willies?

Hurricanes and willy willies (also known as dust storms or whirlwinds) differ primarily in their formation and characteristics. Hurricanes are large, intense tropical storms characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, and a well-defined structure, forming over warm ocean waters. In contrast, willy willies are smaller, localized wind phenomena that typically occur over land, characterized by swirling winds and dust, but without the extensive rainfall or organized structure of hurricanes. Additionally, hurricanes can cause widespread destruction due to their size and strength, while willy willies are usually less damaging and more transient.
