This is the horrifying moment a massive dust storm swept through the airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

Shocking footage shows a towering cloud of thick debris rolling towards Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on Monday evening, August 25.

The freak weather event, known as a haboob, swept across parts of Metro Phoenix and was quickly followed by intense thunderstorms.

Strong winds reaching up to 70 mph tore through the city and damaged structures, including a connector bridge at the airport.

The National Weather Service in Phoenix issued alerts for both dust storms and severe thunderstorms as the system moved into Maricopa County.

More than 60,000 households in Arizona were affected by power outages.

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.
