Amazing Footage Of Phoenix Dust Storm [VIDEO]

Tuesday night Phoenix, AZ was hit by a huge dust storm that was nearly 2 miles high.  It pretty much shut down the city and for good reason judging by this video.

If you thought we were getting hit with sever storms, then be glad you aren't in Phoenix this week. Tuesday nights dust storm was just a little taste. They are going to be seeing sever storms in that area including the possibility of more dust storms this week.

What an amazing video though.  Gotta love time lapse photography.  You could seriously show me toast being made in slow motion and I would be fascinated. For more on the dust storm, or it's technical term  "Haboob", just click here.
