    I saw that on the news last night. That was unreal. 50-70 mph winds? Haboobs can be pretty dangerous, but it sounds like this one pretty much created an inconvenience more than anything else.......which is great

    Not entirely related, but I just saw this flash flood video that happened in Melbourne, KangarooLand back in 2010. The sandstorm videos & this one just shows how quick the weather can make your situation turn to pot.
