We have a similar phenomenon in the spring. During the windy season, Arizona picks up and starts invading  East into Southern New Mexico in the form of the sky turning brown and blowing dust shutting down roads.

That isn't dust... it's bushfire smoke.

We in the U.K. have a thing called Saha ra Dust, in that small particles of sand are picked up from the Sahara and carried in the weather system to the U.K. (it has been known to reach the U.S.), Sahara Dust is bad in several ways,

One being , for asthmatics as the particles can cause respiratory distress.

Two being, can leave a layer of dust on the car that if not washed very safely, can seriously scratch your paintwork..

((do not do what this idiot did and run your hand down the paintwork))

In the U.S.

Beware of the haboob. The Apaches in central Arizona believed the dust storms emanated from spirits within the Superstition Mountains. Went for a spooky wet hike there this weekend.
