Haboob isn't even an Arizona word...!
Dust Storm (General) Cause: Strong winds from various weather systems (like cold fronts, dry lines) lifting loose soil and sand. Characteristics: Variable intensity, can be smaller or larger, sometimes just blowing dust. Trigger: Gusty winds, farming activities, large low-pressure systems. Haboob (Specific Type) Cause: A thunderstorm's downdraft hits the ground and spreads out, creating a powerful wall of dust and debris. Characteristics: A towering, dense wall of dust, often miles high, moving rapidly, with strong winds (50-80 mph). Trigger: Strong summer monsoon thunderstorms in arid regions.
who in the hell decided to call our summer chat storms a haboob??
It’s a Dust storm this is America
