A massive wall of dust swept through #Phoenix , plunging the city into near-total darkness, grounding flights, forcing motorists off the road and cutting power to thousands. The giant #haboob is a common phenomenon during the arid region's monsoon season. Haboobs form when a thunderstorm collapses, sending cold air crashing onto the desert floor, where it scoops up dust into a towering wall of sediment that can stretch for miles and rise thousands of feet.

Power restored after massive Phoenix dust storm and haboob

Crews are cleaning up downed trees and have mostly restored power after a powerful dust storm hit the Phoenix area. The storm was what's known as a haboob. It blackened skies and knocked out electricity for 15,000 customers late Monday afternoon. Drenching rain followed. Flights were halted at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. By Tuesday afternoon things were mostly back to normal. Only about 100 customers were still without power in Maricopa County. The weather was warm and clear, with scattered thunderstorms expected to give way to hot and dry weather through the rest of the week.
