The Saharan dust Storms comes from the Sahel strip. Not from the Sahara desert itself #SaharanDust #polvodelSahara #duststorm 
The Sahel strip is south of the Sahara. These are lands that are being desertified (turning into desert) for different reasons. Climate change, civil wars, migrations, exploitation of resources, deforestation and burning of slash to enable areas for livestock.
Where at this time of year arrives and the wind begins to lift all that particulate, takes it to the atmosphere and reaches in several days (5 to 6 days) to the Caribbean areas.
The Sahara and Africa is precisely the compost of the forests of the Americas. The lands of Peru, the Amazon, Colombia, Venezuela, etc. is filled with nutrients and minerals carried by the dust. In the past 30 years this has been intensifying
This event had never happened at this level. But it is not the last, others will come as intense or more than this. Unfortunately it is inevitable due to the events in Africa.
Apart from Africa, you have Spain that is also deserting. It is not the only country in Europe that will dry like Greece, Italy, among others will also suffer the same. Also green areas and aquifers within the states of California and Texas are also drying up.
These events may lead us to a shortage and scarcity of water supply. Which may take us to Wars for water. Plus there are already tentions between mayor superpowers like China, India, Russia and USA. So, be prepared for the worst, but always expect the best outcomes.
