No, that giant cloud of dust gobbling up the East Valley does not mean the end times are here. It’s just a haboob.
The huge dust storm rolled into Mesa around 4 p.m. Thursday. Valley residents took to social media to post pictures and videos of the haboob, a unique Arizona weather event that never fails to inspire a little bit of awe and terror.
Here are some of the best shots they shared.
