Saltcane

Saltcanes are hurricanes which are almost always smaller than 2008's Tropical Storm Marco, and form during the summer and autumn months in the Great Salt Lake in Utah. A drop of rainwater from a saltcane has levels of salt equivalent to 5 and a half full salt shakers, which is enough to burn the retina of someone's eyes on contact. That, combined with their high winds blowing microscopic salt particles through the air, makes them a really dangerous threat for those living by the Lake. For reasons currently unknown, most saltcanes usually have pressures below 950 mb, even if the winds are only 40 mph.
