A penetrating sandstorm or dust storm with violent winds, occurring chiefly in Arabia, North Africa, and India.
Phoenix Haboob - July 5th, 2011
Yesterday I got caught in the Haboob or dust storm driving home from volleyball. It was quite an experience. Reminded me of a blizzard with near whiteout conditions, except it was still close to 100 degrees. But in any case, it is awe inspiring to see the power of nature. Like in this time-lapse video below:

That's incredible! So many examples lately of the power of nature. I'm glad it lies dormant most of the time.
