Are you saying the wind storm that stranded Whatney in The Martian was inaccurate?

So much for that book being well researched...

It's been noted again and again. The author also has stated multiple times that this was a deliberate inaccuracy for story purposes.

Supposedly that's about the only technical liberty they took. The rest is said to be pretty realistic.
