Was driving along and saw this nasty bastard in my rearview mirror. Was able to grab the camera and take some pictures before it rolled completely over.

Few pictures as it slowly rolled in:





















View from about 5 miles away from previous pictures and about half an hour later:








Hopefully there were some aerial photos taken so we can see some better pics of it later. Hard to see the detail up close to something so big. Have to look at it from quite a distance to even see what it looks like lol. There was a big one in Phoenix last July, but I'm sure this one was much smaller. From Phoenix:

Arizona Dust Storm: Amazing Time-Lapse of Phoenix 'Haboob' - YouTube

 

I thought it was a little breezy today lol
Is thats Larry's engine shop?

 

I notice in pic #3, bottom center. Is that a "Unnaturally Asperated" sticker? In what appears to be a pic of a turbo? Or am I seeing things?

 

Yeah, little bit of wind out there. I'm sure people lost a few small animals to that wind storm lol. And yeah those last pics were outside larrys.

 

Looks like L.A. to me.

WTF is a Haboob?

 

Sandstorm

 

Coming from the Midwest, I'm not impressed. Was pretty shocked when I walked out of work how much the temp had dropped though

 

How long does it last once it reaches you? Thick enough to stop traffic?

I watched a video from a sandstorm in Dubai, holy fack, that stopped traffic completely until it went away.

 

Phoenix, Afghanistan?

 

Everything is bigger in Texas, Ps. this black out the sun(as you can see) and We couldn't see off our front porch. Im too lazy to upload the others lol.
