I'm not sure that comparison is as obvious as it might seem. Because while the air is unbreathable on Mars, the most violent weather would be pretty much harmless. A roaring blizzard in Antarctica could actually directly damage facilities with force. This was one of the very few things that was intentionally faked in "The Martian." The whole 'violent dust storm' that sets off the crisis of the movie doesn't exist. Low atmospheric pressure means that dust storm would have felt like a slight breeze, at most. I think it's quite noteworthy that a hard sci-fi book ended up having to turn to fiction to create a crisis on Mars!
