Watch: Moment massive dust storm surges through Arizona

A massive dust storm swept through parts of Pinal County, Arizona, as captured in a dramatic video. The towering wall of dark dust was driven by powerful thunderstorm winds, creating a visually striking and potentially hazardous weather event. The dust storm surged through the area, reducing visibility and posing a threat to drivers and residents in its path. Meteorologists noted that these types of dust storms, known as haboobs, are common in the region during the summer months when monsoon weather patterns prevail. Haboobs can reach heights of thousands of feet and travel at speeds up to 60 miles per hour, making them a significant hazard to both people and infrastructure. The video footage showcases the sheer scale and intensity of this natural phenomenon, serving as a reminder of the region's dynamic and sometimes unpredictable weather conditions.
