LOL!
Sand walls thousands of feet high occur in the deserts of the Middle East, the Sahara and Arizona.
A haboob is a wall of dust that can stand hundreds or even thousands of feet high. It is the result of high winds that blow down and agitate sand and dust, which causes the debris to blow up into a tall stacked wall. An average time span of a haboob generally ranges from 10 to 30 minutes.
Haboobs typically occur in dry areas, particularly the Middle East, the Sahara, North Africa and the US state of Arizona, where there are large amounts of sand and high temperatures. These dust walls can be dangerous if they are tall enough to cause issues with visibility, particularly if it affects ground and air transportation.

Sorry I missed this! Pages go by pretty quick sometimes, and I was watching a video on the Maserati GT MC.
<3 Haboobs, ruining newly washed cars every Summer.

That was so much fun, I don't car if the fastest I went was 40mph.
Though, the first set you can go faster and I was only doing about 60-65 and the M3 that went with us flew by doing 90... got hit with LASER at 67 in a 45. Whew, and the cop said we were lucky he couldn't get the rest of us.
