Haboob Alert: Stay Alive in Arizona Dust Storms | Mesa News
Description
A massive dust storm, or haboob, hit Pima and Pinal counties Saturday night, slashing visibility to near zero and turning roads into hazardous zones. Drivers were urged to pull over, turn off lights, and avoid braking if caught in the wall of dust. These intense but short-lived storms—common during Arizona’s monsoon season—are caused by thunderstorm winds kicking up massive amounts of dirt. The ADOT’s “Pull Aside, Stay Alive” campaign reminds everyone to slow down, get off the road if possible, and wait it out safely until the storm passes. Stay weather-aware—your life might depend on it.
