Phoenix Hit by Back-to-Back Category Five Haboobs | Roanoke News

Phoenix just endured back-to-back Category Five dust storms—haboobs so intense they’re rare in recorded history. The first slammed the city days ago, followed by another early Thursday morning, both hitting at night to spare drivers. Visibility dropped to half a mile, but no major incidents occurred. Scientists say this double hit is unprecedented, with only five such storms in 16 years. Drier conditions and climate change are likely fueling these extreme events, setting the stage for more powerful haboobs ahead.
