It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty opened upon Aad, of the wind with which He destroyed them, only as much as the hole of a ring. It passed by the people of the desert and carried off their livestock and their possessions, and lifted them up between the sky and the earth. When the town-dwellers saw this wind and what was in it, they said: 'This is a cloud that will bring us rain.' Then it hurled the desert people and their livestock down upon the town-dwellers."
