This is the dramatic moment a wall of dust engulfed fields as a storm swept through West Texas.

Terrifying footage captured by storm chaser James shows a massive cloud of debris rolling across the landscape on May 25.

James said: 'Blowing dust from outflow boundary 12 miles west of Dickens on US 82 and FM 264.'

Authorities urged residents to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities as the freak weather phenomenon moved through the region.

Sandstorms, also called dust storms, are caused by a combination of drought and strong winds. The gusts blow across dry surfaces and whip up dust and dirt in the air which forms dense clouds.
