Should you be worried about a major windstorm destroying your base when you land on Mars?
Answer No, because the force of the major windstorms is not large enough to cause major damage.
While Mars is known for its massive windstorms, the strongest wind speeds hit about 60 miles per hour, which is not even half the speed hit in hurricanes back on Earth. On top of wind speed, the atmosphere of Mars is only about 1% as dense as Earth, meaning the inertial force of wind on Mars is really low. The most you'd need to worry about from those Martian dust storms is getting covered in dust.
