| Oh my goodness...that is crazy. Did you have a big mess to clean up or hose off? I was on a mission trip in Mexico once and a dust storm came through. I don't know how it compared, but it was awful. We had dust/sand all over us and it was getting in our eyes and our mouths. We were outside at the time. When we went back to our campsite, our tents had sand all over inside them because we had let them vent out...not open, but the sand and dust came through the mesh windows!

| How long did it last and did you have a film of dust left everywhere? That is absolutely amazing footage!

| That is so strange & crazy! Not to mention creepy! Hope everything's ok, I've heard of dust storms but had no idea that's how they were.

I was just reading more details and it looks like it was about 50 miles wide, and 8,000-10,000 feet high. It was up to 60 mph. I guess 911 had 720 calls during it, poor peoples. It's Monsoon season here, so dust storms aren't too unusual - but they're usually always followed/accompanied by rain. I guess this one is called a "Haboob" since it didn't rain. Who knew? I really wanted to put some swim goggles on and just go out there and be in it . Hubby wouldn't do it! I did go outside for a minute to grab some things that might blow away, and I came in covered in a film and eyes full of sand. Storms are cool.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Wow amazing. I have never seen any video of a dust storm. We have been to Phoenix about 6 times in the past 2 years and I think we had rain once and never saw anything like this. We are coming again end of August is that still the monsoon season?
