What happened?
An impressive sandstorm struck the province of The Pampa, in Argentina, and was recorded through some videos that quickly became viral on social networks.
The strange natural phenomenon was not only surprising because of its large size, but also because it caused damage to houses and large accumulations of dust in that area.
The storm uprooted trees and cut off some basic services, such as electricity, due to strong gusts of wind, he said. The Argentine Nation.
Sandstorm
Despite all this, the inhabitants of the La Pampa sector did not miss the opportunity to record the moment when this phenomenon approached the place where they were.
In some images you can see the intensity of the wind and also the great column of sand that forms at the bottom.
Some classified the event as “science fiction”, since events of this magnitude do not usually occur in the country.
It seems like science fiction, but it is the storm that passed through the pampas. Strong wind, sand and then water.#LaPampa pic.twitter.com/8xkqCBaC2L
