Haboob from New Mexico Blankets Arizona in Dust and Haze

A massive dust storm, or "haboob," swept across New Mexico and northern Mexico, creating a 200-mile path of thick brown haze. The storm, driven by winds from a major thunderstorm, was the largest many scientists had ever seen. It caused low visibility and hazardous conditions, leading to a multi-car pileup on Interstate 25. The storm continued into Arizona, with heavy rain and thunderstorms expected to follow.
