Items blown away in sandstorm staying in the air and dew collectors

[Dimensional Traveler]

I just had a sandstorm with a message of items being blown away. I went downwind from my workshop and there were several items hanging in the air higher than the character can jump.

I also noticed that in addition to my dew collectors having nothing on the day of the storm they also collected no dew the night after the storm, resulting in no dew collected for two days. Don't know if that is WAD or not.

The items getting blown away and floating seem to be an issue. I haven't had it happen lately because of my gear I've been wearing, or just spending the day inside somewhere, but it happened to me as well. Just random floating items and they were gone forever the next day.
As for the dew collectors. I don't think dirty water will really work well inside machines. All that dust collecting on the dew collector and all. This is one of those realistic things, that I like, but seems it might be too real for others.
Night after the storm? Like a whole day without sandstorm and that night no dew? That would be weird and maybe it's a bug.

Wake up the day of the sandstorm, all dew collectors are empty. Wake up the next day, no sandstorm, all dew collectors are empty. Second day after the storm dew collectors are working normally.

Basically the sandstorm started one night, continued through the next day AND night.
