Wild video captured 'Haboob' dust tower, which covered Dallas in apocalyptic red fog

Wild video caught a massive dust tower, which is known as “Haboob”, which caused car accidents, closes main roads and had the entire subway area of ​​Dallas included in an apocalyptic red fog this week.

The uncanny footage, which was recorded on Monday by the fire chief Justin Powell from Dexter, NM, showed the consequences of a five-car stack that was caused by drivers, which were apparently blinded by the swirling sands who tried to clear the road in rescue workers.

When the Haboob – a particularly violent dust tower caused by thunderstorms – moved through New Mexico and West Texas, the National Weather Service gave storm warnings for the counties at the counties along the southern US border.

The agency warned of up to 80 miles per hour in some areas of up to 80 miles when the officials closed parts of the I-10 and I-25 and the visibility around El Paso International Airport went back to just a quarter mile.

When the dust settled on Tuesday via Dallas-Fort Worth, Fox 4 overhead photos of the city center, which was covered in a dirty haze from the Haboob, released an Arabic term that literally means “blowing”.

“Dust becomes in Tarrant County Dicker. I've never seen it so badly here,” a resident of the area that was posted to X.

The X user Rob Bartley has posted a photo of surreal, pink yellow clouds over a public park in which he wrote: “New Mexico and West Texas Sand come here. Why? Because I washed my truck on Sunday. “

Haboobs can be wide and a thousand foot for miles. They occur most frequently in the southwest, where the winds can absorb loose desert dust and take the region with them.

Haboobs are particularly dangerous for people with respiratory conditions and motorway drivers who often have no way of escaping the storm when they imagine on the horizon.

“Dazing, initial, can quickly reduce visibility and cause accidents that contain chain collisions and cause massive stacks,” says the national weather service.
