Dust storms in Phoenix, AZ

Recently, there was a very large dust storm in Phoenix, Arizona.  The type of storm is called a Haboob, which is Arabic for the large storms in the Sahara.  There are many videos of the storm, and they are all amazing.  This storm was caused by a Thunderstorm that created a lot of wind, picking up dust, creating a storm up to 3,000 feet high.
