Every year about this time it becomes a lousy time to play golf in the Phoenix-Mesa region because of this.

Reportedly visibility was reduced to 30 feet.

This video is raw feed from a TV news chopper covering the story. Sadly one of the two aircraft was involved in a fatal mid-air sometime after this day.

  • It is Mother Nature’s spa treatment… you walk out into it facing it and the sand does the derma-abrasion treatment. Then the rain behind it comes through you get the mud pack facial followed by the hot rain washing it all off, closely followed by the hot dry air finishing the treatments. And some women pay boo-koo buck for a day at the spa when AZ has it for free.

  • another one just hit phoenix. Even bigger!!!!!!

  • it happened again but worse this year 11

  • @Livvybabee28 Just went through pages of posts, someone posted about one in August of 2009. Seems like dust storms are common, happen every year, however when they get big enough to be called a haboob, that normally only happens once or twice every one to two years. Here its July 2011 and we have had two haboobs in July so far....that is normal if NO MORE HAPPEN. However if there are more this summer, that would be higher than NORMAL even for Phoenix, except back in the Dust Bowl.

  • aww that would suck.

    

  • I love phoenix. It's hot but still love it. Can't complain

  • @llacey52 the wind also blows at 70+ mph, blows you over and can cause serious bodily injury, can cause huge damage to property. the rain, in enough quantity, can also cause flash flooding. but ya other than that it is natures version of a day at the spa. without the cucombers on your eyes.

    what? we were all thinking it i just said it.
