Phoenix, Arizona dust storm, or “haboob”

Watching the news this morning and could not believe my eyes when I saw this a dust storm (Haboob) hit Phoenix, Arizona The storm was well over 5,000 feet tall and 60 - 70 miles wide with winds in excess of 50 MPH. Sky Harbor International Airport was forced to shut down for 45 minutes due to visibilities that fell as low as 1/8 mile. I wonder if they have contiguous plans for these storm and if so what can you do other than hunker down.



Some other cool pictures from the storm:
