Cool Crazy dust storm rolls over Phoenix
We get these crazy dust storms occasionally in this area, but they usually hit during our monsoon season which is in August. I was out on my patio yesterday afternoon when I saw this mother rolling my way, and within minutes the visibility in my backyard was zip. A brownout you could say .

cmyX6go will become famous soon enough
How long did it last? Do they just blow through or hang in the air for awhile?

It was a pretty large dust cloud, it probably lasted for maybe 20-30 minutes in my area.

Actually it looks A LOT like a dust storm we had here in Iraq last year. I know one thing, it wasn't too fun!
