I remember the wind storm being pointed out at the time and the author being like “Look, I know, but I needed a reason for him to be stuck on Mars, give me a break”
Does Mars have seismic activity? Maybe a marsquake could trigger a landslide that fucks up the spacecraft instead? idk
Given it was a Sorkin project, he probably would have made Russian hackers crash a satellite orbiting Mars into the NASA crew in the surface if they didn't want the storm thing
I'm absolutely willing to overlook that for the sake of genuinely good science fiction. Especially when the story is about an astronaut with a realistic mindset and problem-solving approach. Out of all the NASA astronauts in fiction I've seen or read about, Mark Watney is by far the most psychologically realistic. He's exactly the sort of person that NASA selects for.

The InSight lander did detect marsquakes
