ddaaaaayyyyuuuummmm! Thanks for sharing

damn that is crazy :helpme

Incredible, my son was caught about 1/2 mile away, I could barely see the road in front of me when I went to get him. Worst I've ever seen here.

same here, couldn't even see the house across the street once it settled in..
a wild one for sure !

still blowing here in chandler

Glad I don't live in the desert anymore. I never saw shit like that in Las Vegas though.

I never saw a sand storm like that when I lived there.

Fuck that. So glad I left Phoenix.

WOW! That is a badass pic!

animals outside must get stressed

yep, thats how it was ... I'm in Chandler / Gilbert area at the moment

If it's not to late make sure to turn your HVAC system off.

.

Its all of PHX area ... from Avdondale to Globe

go find John - he's only used to snow!

My bad... :stoned

ADG

My mother is about a half mile away, I was trying to drive home and could really only see about 15 ft infront of my car, pretty crazy, had to keep on the lights and hazards, drove about 10mph bananas for sure out there:warning

and holy shit you live right by me haha, im by cooper and riggs

Wow. I drove in one a few weeks ago just west of Winslow. Of all the weather I encountered in three weeks on the road, it was the first time the cops came out to slow traffic down.

Yours is a lot more photogenic.

wow thats gnarly!

Wow that some serious dust, hate to have to clean all that dirt/sand and crap up.

Glad I got out of Phx, certainly don't miss those monsoon dust storms.

:O

That's one big haboob.

I've seen a couple of the dust storms go through Phoenix over the years.

Makes wish that I had the only car wash in town.

Somebody is gonna make some serious change.:2 cents:

Its in a desert - what do you expect?

Great pics, though - very scary. If I saw that shit coming at me where I live now I'd be like, "Whoa! WTF? I don't live in a desert! Why is this happening to me?"

I was on my way to the grocery store and pulled over to take some pics. Looked like the end of the world. Hit right as I got to the store and everyone inside and all the employees just stood at the door watching. Their fire alarms went off the whole time for some reason.

It was pretty intense watching it engulf an entire mountain.

It penetrates/infiltrates the damnest places too, just during a normal day if there's much of a breeze. Even a tightly closed window or door you think is perfectly sealed.

I always carry extra air filters in both vehicles and change them quite often. It's not just 'dust', it's highly abrasive silica dust.

Wow! That even worse than I saw in Dubai.

Oh fuck :helpme

nice pics

glad to hear you are ok :thumbsup

don't forget to wear those mask!

Insane... witnessed it in Tempe, soo crazy!
