Yes, that was the storm Sian.

Not sure exactly where that video is at. The city of Phoenix is approx 500 square miles, and the metro area is more like 1,500 square miles.

We get some massive dust storms (they started calling them Haboobs ) and monsoon storms.

Was there another big dust storm? Isn't that the third one this year?

Are there usually these big storms? I never heard about them before.

I think that was the third one this year.
