This looks intimidating. Thank goodness there is nobody on TBR from Phoenix.

Remember, you can't say "haboob" without saying "boob".

Are you 15 years old? You still get a kick out of talking about soft, warm, soft, beautiful, luscious, succulent boobs?
Grow up already. Get a life.

In all seriousness, I hope for the breast for all those affected.

Haboob story.
We have had three haboobs so far this season. It is not bad when there is a nice thunderstorm with cool lightning behind it.. The last one a couple of days ago was without any moisture. It just stirred up dirt in the air. {cough cough}

Ummmm, 'scuse me? We have been through three of those haahaaboobs so far this year. @Cyber Liberty
My baby sister and her family were at Lake Mead recently. She had never seen an haboob before. They were all ordered off of Lake Mead until the haboob had passed by the lake. One whole day of jet skiing down the tubes. Haboob!
Bummer in the 115-degree summer!

Thank you ever so much! It is most certainly not as bad as the floods in Virginia nor the firestorms in California. We count our blessings that the only bad weather we get normally are haboobs and unbelievable heat.

@Cyber Liberty just told me you live in The Valley, too! I didn't get your joke. Bad me.

I did, at one time in my life. Owned a place off of Bethany Home Road. But not today. I lived in Phoenix in the late 90s. I've gone back to visit friends once in a while but have not lived there since then.
-
These are the first "monsoon storms" I've experienced so far. They come on suddenly and are gone in about an hour - at least so far.
Some are followed by rain, some are not. The rain cleans ups the mess pretty well so it is highly desirable.
The dust is very fine and more like powder than sand. If you stay inside they aren't much of an issue. Not good to be caught on the road when they strike.

One other note...
It is fire season in California where I came from. When you live in the wooded hills it is a very scary time where total disaster can strike very quickly. Monsoons in Arizona are a much better experience than the fire season in California...
-
A haboob looks much like the shamals I saw while living in Saudi Arabia.

@Cyber Liberty @Slip18
Just looking at that picture made my sinuses go crazy. Ya'll and anyone else in the area have my heartfelt sympathy.

I heard that.
