anyone get any good pics/video/etc? we got all of the dirt and none of the rain. <_< still pretty cool-lookin' though. some of the pictures were pretty wild. i remember a similar one several years ago when i was living in east mesa. you could see our neighborhood on the news from the helicopter as the dust wall moved over it. i missed that whole part last night as i had no idea it was happening until facebook was like.. OMG! MONSOOOOON!

Is Liz Habib still on channel 3 news?
Cuz that would've been the funniest thing: having
Habib reporting on haboobs sounds classic.
Years ago I was at a Tokyo Express with some peeps
and Liz comes in and was openly ogling my peeps breasticles.
She has been known as the "boob looker" ever since.

My car looks like nature took a shit on it.

I was on the 4th floor of Burton Barr library when the storm rolled in and I couldn't see past the parking lot. I couldn't even see Central avenue.

I was at Revolver and at one point couldn't see Carly's across the street. Before it came through some customers said there was a fire down the street, but it was just the dust clouds beginning to roll through.

So, I've never heard the term "haboob." Like, ever, until today.

And it feels like I've read and heard that word about 100 times today. Like everyone's a haboob expert or something.

How the fuck does that happen?

It'll always be a dust storm in my ignorant eyes.

It was my impression that it is was being used as a buzzword by the media (real word or not that's how it was used). I'm a haboob noob, being that I've lived here all of 3 months, but at work several people indicated that they had never heard it before.

"Those are called "haboobs," from the Arabic word "ha," meaning "wow, those clouds look like," and the Arabic word "boobs," meaning "huge boobs." "

i guess it means phenomenon in arabic. as in it doesn't happen all that often. so i guess it fits since it doesn't happen here all the time. i heard it several years back when they were describing the storm i mentioned in my first post. we laughed and made the same liz habib joke.
