Description

A spring dust wall from storms down in Tucson made it's way up Interstate 10 on May 9th. It grew in strength and density along the way. The first portion of the timelapse was shot north of Casa Grande, halfway to Phoenix. The second clip was on the southern outskirts of Phoenix. Photographer Mike Olbinski got caught up in the dust cloud a few times and raced out of it in order to capture it's arrival! On the leading edge of the wall of dust you can see some pretty intense "gustnados" spin up. There was actually damage done to homes in Queen Creek that is being blamed on a gustnado. Crazy to have a fairly large haboob already in May! For more, visit Mike Olbinski Photography at www.mikeolbinski.com
