People are talking about two different things. Unfortunately the report of your story used a bad choice of works. Blowing dust across the road as in 2gypsies' post are not the same thing as a Haboob. Haboobs rarely if ever occur in the winter while dust blowing across a section of road can occur anytime it has been dry. The dust blowing across the road are localized events while the Haboob travels many miles. I10 has several locations where dust blows across the road, Lordsburg, NM, Wilcotts, AZ and Picacho Peak, AZ. The Haboobs normally start near Casa Grande and travel northward to Phoenix as a result of the summer Monsoon rains and winds.
