Im glad you posted. I was going to earlier and got side tracked. I have lived here in Arizona my whole life and have seen many dust storms, this was unbelievable to say the least. The massive cloud of dust (they are saying now) spanned 50 to 70 miles wide and 5000 feet high. It shut down the airport and made such a mess out of everything. Dirt is everywhere.
Here is another link that shows its enormous size. Honest to Pete...watch till the end, it literally went black in seconds.
