A violent hot sand-laden wind on the deserts of Arabia and North Africa.
1News spread through the desert with the rapidity of the simoon.
2During the approach of one of those death-dealing simoon's I noted a sublime phenomenon.
3On my way homeward, at Reno, I encountered a simoon of most appalling power.
4As I wuz asayin' along we went like fury, ther simoon chasing arter us.
5It's a simoon that you're thinking about, and they happen only on the desert.
6The tears came not; it was a dry, blistering tempest- ascorchingsimoon of the desert.
7It refreshes when the breath of the world is a simoon, withering heart and strength.
8All over Kandahar province the summer heat is intense, and the simoon is not unknown.
9No whirlwind, tornado or simoon of the desert ever startled a nation as her volcanic career.
10Grace found herself wondering if the Arabian simoon, of which she had read, could possibly be deadlier.
11It is of old a native of the East, sister of the tornado, the earthquake, and the simoon.
12But when they entered the desert the simoon swept down on them and buried them to a man.
13The simoon may be blowing up.
14A simoon, a monsoon and a typhoon met, head on, at the exact corner of the equator and the 180th meridian.
15The simoon of shot and shell was over, and men and women and children crawled from their caves into the light of day.
16Sandstorms are frequent, and at times the baleful simoon sweeps across the entire tract, destroying with its pestilential breath both men and animals.
