More info The incredible footage shows the moment the capital of Phoenix was swallowed by a massive dust storm, triggered by a monsoon packed with thunder and lighting, high winds and rain. As winds ripped through at an estimated 50 to 75mph, daylight was turned to darkness for more than an hour as the dust storm smothered the roads of the Arizona highway. Shocking videos show the wall of dust as it engulfs portions of the state and the blue sky quickly turns to orange as it is turned into darkness. Professional storm chaster Mike Oblinski, who filmed the footage, said: "The dust storm was so bad everyone stopped driving on the road. “It was intense and pretty dangerous." The US National Weather Service said the thick wall of dust had reduced visibility to less than 400 metres. And officials were forced to issue several warnings of "near-zero visibility" and "life-threatening travel”. The dust storms are known as Haboobs and take place as a result of outflow winds from strong thunderstorms.

Ken Waters, National Weather Service meteorologist, said: “The dust gets lofted and basically just forms a big cloud that moves rapidly. As it moves, it tends to pick up more dust.” Phoenix was slammed by a second monster monsoon storm on Monday, which grounded flights and damaged property across the state. Chief meteorologist for 3TV, Royal Norman, said it was one of the biggest storms of the season. He added: "I think this dust storm is going to push through the entire Valley.” Enter your email address here SUBSCRIBE Sponsored Power Home Solar New Program Is Paying Quali!ed Homeowners Over $2039 After Install* To Go Solar.
