It had been a slow, mostly dry monsoon up until late August. Then, the Valley was hit with a dust storm that no one will forget.

The wall of dust originated near Tucson before running up Pinal County and slamming into the East Valley. But it didn’t stop there. The storm tore through the Valley and right into Yavapai County before finally fizzling. As it crossed through the Phoenix metro, it seemed to swallow the city whole.

Video from Arizona State University showed the football field disappearing as the dust rolled in. At Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, shots showed the runway going dark. In fact, winds were so powerful that a portion of the roof was damaged at Terminal 4. Gusts were reported up to 70 mph and visibility dropped to zero, grounding flights.
