Haboob engulfs Phoenix
A haboob hits the Phoenix area Monday.
PHOENIX – A giant wall of dust rolled through the Phoenix area on Thursday for the third time since early July – turning the sky brown, creating dangerous driving conditions and delaying some airline flights.
The dust storm, also known as a haboob in Arabic and around Arizona, swept through Pinal County and headed northeast, reaching Phoenix at about 6 p.m.
I'd never heard of a haboob before, have you?
