IF the martian wind hit 300 mph and IF my 1/6 force is correct, that would be an effective wind of 50 MPH on earth. I have no idea if a 50 mph wind would tip the rover over.

Going to go look now about that 1/6th pressure.

Check out this graph from pathfinder.  Apparently, it was hit by at least 3 dust devils.  so, if this experience is any indication, Rover could be seeing the same thing.

 

An atmospheric pressure of 7 MBs is what is encountered on earth at over 100,000 (or close to it).

I recall reading something like that too (the 1/6th thing), but if I recall correctly from my engineering education, the force on an object (wind drag or whatever) is directly related to the density of the air. If thats the case, wouldn't it be 1/100?
