duststrm1a.jpg (142956 bytes) August 14, 2001 - A monsoon dust storm (haboob) moves in from the north at Glendale Community College.  The storm contained wind gusts of 60 - 65 mph and broke branches off trees and caused minor property damage.  No measurable rain occurred at Glendale Community College.

Another Great Haboob - This haboob originated north of Tucson, AZ and moved quickly towards the Estrella Mountains just south of Phoenix.  This picture shows the dust moving over the mountains (beneath the dust).
