A giant wall of dust hit Metropolitan Phoenix for the third time within the last six weeks.
The dust storm, known as a haboob, was 1,000 feet high and traveled at least 50 miles into metro Phoenix and neighboring Pinal County on Thursday evening.
Weather experts said such huge dust storms only happen in Arizona, Africa’s Sahara desert and parts of the Middle East.
Flights were delayed and some people were without electricity because of the dust storm.
Homes were damaged, roofs were torn off businesses, trees landed on top of homes and a junior high school has part of its roof missing in the city of Eloy, in Pinal County.
Pollution levels was very high during dust storms and caused breathing problems for people with asthma and other similar conditions.

But this was holywood’s view, it may have been different in real time.
I do not know if holywood researched this. Also real life films of the dirty thirties looked like this.

Dear Mr. Richard Perry,
I also do not know if things were the same as it were in the movies. But it must be dusty in the desert especially during the sand storm. I have not been to Arizona and had never seen a real cowboy like those in the movies but I have visited the Olentangy Indian Caverns in Ohio 🙂 But it was not in the desert like in the movies.

It looks like the 1950’s western cowboy movies.

Dear Mr. Richard Perry,
I have never really watch an old cowboy movie before this. I hope to watch a nice old cowboy movie soon. It must be so dusty at that time.
