Right around minute 9:00 in the video is where it approaches near zero visibility. Other times while in the storm were difficult to see as well.

I was driving on the freeway when a nice dust storm appears in the East Valley (Mesa/Gilbert), Arizona. I attempted to beat the dust storm (Haboob) home but didn't quite make it. There were points while driving where I had near zero visibility, as can be seen toward the end of the video. The winds in this storm appeared to have higher speeds than the last large storm over a year ago on July 5, 2011 (which I also happened to drive through and record).

The video is long. I basically kept the camera rolling as I approached and then drove through the storm. It is interesting to see the dramatic change in the environment from the semiclear day to that within the dusty storm.

After the dust storm rolled through we then got drenched (for Arizona) with rain. A nice way to make the thick coat of dirt/sand stick and solidify to anything it just dusted.

Enjoy.
