It’s basically a thunderstorm that causes a sandstorm. Yeah, as tiki said, some serious WTF.

Depends. Some might just blow over in a few minutes, others might be part of a bigger sandstorm that lasts for hours, even days.

I think my worst one was probably in Kuwait. It wasn’t a massive wall of sand like this picture, but we were walking to go grab some lunch, and out of nowhere, without any warning at all, the sand just got kicked up. I literally lost sight of the guys I was walking with, who were within a couple of feet of me. It only lasted for about 30 seconds, though.

For me, the worst part was never the storm itself, but the results of it. When I say sand got everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE.
