Major dust storm sweeps through Arizona<br /><br />An apocalyptic-like dust storm was seen clogging the skies over Arizona’s Pinal County area on Monday, August 25. <br /><br />The National Weather Service described the dust storm as a “haboob,” and urged drivers to pull over if they encountered poor driving conditions.<br /><br />Haboobs frequently occur during the summer monsoon season in the southwest United States.<br /><br />They happen when thunderstorms produce downdrafts that kick up dry, loose sand on the desert floor, creating a wall of dust that travels outward, spanning a much larger area than the thunderstorm itself, according to a weather expert. <br /><br />ABC AFFILIATE KNXV / REUTERS<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br />Sign up to our newsletters: https://tmt.ph/newsletters<br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#WorldNews<br />#Arizona
