Ryno, glad you said something about driving in worse conditions while traveling through the Mid-West. I live on the WI/IL border and recent rain storms produced ZERO visibility a couple times these past few weeks. And when it comes to winter, I've experienced 'white' out conditions! While this is bad (!!) and I would probably be one of those putting on the hazards, it really can't be compared to our winters or storms, which I'm sure you know! AWESOME video though!!
FYI -- the best/safest thing to do in a Haboob (Sandstorm/Duststorm) if you're out driving on the road is to pull over to a safe area either on the far shoulder or off the road and turn on your hazard lights, turn off the engine, and hunker down and wait for the storm to pass. Attempting to drive through a Haboob is not only incredibly dangerous due to the severely reduced visibility and high winds, but it will also seriously fuck up your air filter and engine. Not to mention its not good for your paint, windshield, and wiper blades.
lol I was in that shit. I didn't even know it was going on till I walked outside my work. Didn't know wtf was going on, thought it was WW3 or something. Then one of my coworkers walked out for a smoke break in the MIDDLE of it, and was like "Oh hey, it's just a dust storm.". I'm from Florida, so all this desert shit is weird to me. I'm use to Hurricanes. Not this dust shit.
uuhh... not exactly... in these cases it's just blowing fairly hard and destroys almost all visibility. eventually it does settle in and on everything but it's pretty easy to blow off. If it sits there for years.. like on an old car or something... then yah it gets sticky to stuff.
Michael Jo hah I have. I grew up north of Chicago. Know aaaalll about that. Which coincidentally is why I moved to Az to get away from lol. Thx for watching/commenting.
I lived in the northeast. Snow sucks because it's slippery and your car can get stuck. I was a pizza delivery driver when I was 19 or 20 and worked in the snow and ice. No thank you!! I have lived in Phoenix for many years and these dust storms are no big deal. They just look cool.
bassage13 yeah they’re not too huge of a deal. When I lived in Az I never had to pull over for one, just had to drive slow a few times. They are pretty cool to experience but make a big mess. And allergies go crazy too.
I've driven in many. They pass quickly, so not too bad. I have no allergy issues, so not a problem for me. The only issue is sweeping all the dirt up on your driveway. Really, the only dangerous weather problems in southern Arizona are possible flash floods and strong wind during monsoon season. And even that is random and not a huge, widespread issue most summers. Of course, northern AZ can have major forest fire issues some years.

Best vid of the dust storm posted. Could be an intro for a cheesy B flick horror movie. The alien lizards are going to get ya.

Amazing, I will miss this beautiful mother earth from the first minute I die!!!!
Just beautiful!!!
This is the best video of this storm that I have seen so far.... plus, I like the song in the background, LOL
Good vid. Cave Creek only got the dust from all this. A technician of ours reacted like you did going from 70 to 5 mph on I10.
What a lovely day!
Very fascinating! And they totally had the right song going in the background too, "Rolling In The Deep", and that's just what they did lol.
I wish I stayed in AZ longer than I did, I would be able to see this epicness in person.
So, when the talk about a volcano blocking the sun and throwing the earth into night and cold. I guess they are not kidding!
I'm from Mesa and I remember all the dust storms, i definitely missed a big one haha
this one was a few hours easy... sometimes they're smaller and fast sometimes the dust lingers on for quite a while
U r crazy driving in that and I been in sandstorms like u I live in Arizona
Your commentary is the best!
it looks like something out of the movies hahaha i saw this on the news and i live in texas...hahaha
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Dude, you should mount your phone on your windshield so you can video record more safely. Cool video tho! :)
No I left my windows cracked open n dust was everywhere inside
I love Arizona, hell yeah :D
Amazing and impressive video!
O look adele is playing o.o
Haboos are awesome but scary because it turns dark like an evil horror scene and it sure hurts if you walk in it
is that the norm in arizona to drive with ur hazard lights on when its foggy,rainy,dust stormy?
@GuzikT...I agree. And why the hell are people even driving in these conditions? "I can't see a damn thing"...???geez....
yet so little people are actually smart enough to turn on the hazard light

What part of Arizona do u live in I live in pierce AZ and I we get is tons of rain about 2 mins ago it flooded the hole town
@marcdog1080 well another one just happened today.... >.> seems pretty common
Left my car windows cracked dangitt
If your driving a turbo vehicle, what do you do to preserve the turbos?
I like this video of all the Haboob videos. But why do people from out east condemn all drivers in the Southwest or west as not good as them
I HATE TO BE IN A CONVERTIBLE WITH A BROKEN TOP THROUGH THAT, AHAA
Thumbs up if you were in this duststorm and got dust in your mouth XP
3:17
Why don't you stop when you can't see anything???
fair. it wasn't THAT bad.. I could still see lights in front of me etc.
Does the dust stick to the ground like snow?
uuhh... not exactly... in these cases it's just blowing fairly hard and destroys almost all visibility. eventually it does settle in and on everything but it's pretty easy to blow off. If it sits there for years.. like on an old car or something... then yah it gets sticky to stuff.
I hear rihanna in the backround
yea this sucked. watch this video of me outside walking around during this.
watch?v=RmjSDJj35nU
Darude Sandstorm.
how many mins or hours does it taketo clear off?
About 10 minutes, usually. Sometimes a little longer.
probably try not to drive or change your filter asap :)
time to make some money on air filters XD
eh it happens. *shrug*
Try Driving in a snow storm lol

Says visibility is maximum 50 feet... yet you can see the lampost 300yards apart... so dumb...so american
