Utility crews are picking up power poles and residents are cleaning up their yards and looking at damage around their homes following another dust storm that rolled across the Phoenix area Thursday night.The storm moved through Eloy, Casa Grande, San Tan Valley and Queen Creek before it hit central Phoenix just before 6 p.m. Thursday.
ABC [URL="http://15.com/"]15.com[/URL] in Phoenix reports utility poles were blown over by heavy winds along the Hunt Highway where stranded vehicles were still on the road early Friday.
The storm delayed some incoming and departing flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport about 40 minutes.

When we say dust bowl... We really mean dust bowl, folks.
By the way the video is the previous ones... I'm trying to find a time lapse from the recent two.
Wow, that's beautiful and utterly terrifying at the same time...
I got caught in this last night on the way back from Arizona State University.
Good thing I take the bus back to my house :dance:
That's a big haboob.
Someone mentioned these tend to take out electricity as well. I wonder how that happens exactly.

I'd imagine it's less of some kind of field and more machines being jammed with dust.
Isn't a dust devil a type of tornado? This just looks like a dust storm.
scary
Dammit, I have enough trouble getting from the Downtown Campus to the Tempe campus as it is :v:

How dare you use that terrorist term you unpatriotic filth.
I fucking hate these dust storms out here, it makes cleaning the pool a bitch. Right as you get done 100% cleaning your pool, ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FAGGOT DUST STORMS ROLL THROUGH.
It was only moving through my neighborhood for roughly 15 minutes.
Willie Nelson must be in town clearing the air in his bus.
