Episode Details

Arizona’s monsoon season made a dramatic debut with a colossal dust storm that blanketed Phoenix and surrounding areas on July 12th, reducing visibility to near zero and stretching from Mexico to Buckeye. Classified as a Category Three on a new storm scale, the event featured 39 mph gusts and lingered for four hours. ADOT’s automated safety measures kicked in, lowering speeds on I-10 to 45 mph, but experts stress the best move is to pull over, turn off engine and lights, and wait it out. This wasn’t just a storm—it was a wake-up call: monsoon season is here, and staying informed and prepared is your best defense against nature’s raw power.
