Dust storm over Texas

In late February 2012, a dust storm in the Texas Panhandle dropped visibility to near-zero, and caused numerous accidents and two deaths, according to news station WJLA. The dust swept from eastern New Mexico through Texas, forming a giant arc north of Lubbock.

1. Dust storm over Syria and Iraq Dust plumes blew through Syria and Iraq in early December 2011. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image on December 10, 2011. The dust plumes arise from discrete points in Syria and northwestern Iraq, and blow toward the southeast. Over Iraq, the dust is thick enough to completely hide the Euphrates River Valley. In that region, the dust arcs northward, forming a ripple pattern near the Iraq-Iran border.......
2. Dust storm over Red sea A small dust plume blew from Saudi Arabia over the Red Sea on December 12, 2011. Arising near the coast, north of the city of Jiddah (Jeddah), the plume arcs toward the southwest. The dust is thick enough to completely hide the water below, but the plume stops short of the Sudan coast. On both its eastern and western sides, the Red Sea is bordered by some of the world’s most prolific dust-producing regions. Shifting......
3. Afghanistan dust storm A dense cloud of dust swept across southern Afghanistan and Pakistan on December 20, 2011.  The dust was largely hemmed in by the Makran and Sulaiman Ranges in Pakistan with only a few wisps reaching south over the Arabian Sea. By the time Aqua MODIS flew over just over three hours later, the storm had reached the coast. The dust storm continued on December 21. The storm is being propelled by strong winds from the......
4. Dust blew off Western Africa A dust plume blew off the coast of western Africa on February 6, 2012. It was spanning hundreds of kilometers. Distinct plumes blow off the coast of Western Sahara over the ocean, but the large veil of dust in the southwest likely arose farther inland. Sandy desert covers most of Mauritania, and those sand seas may have provided the material for most of the dust in this image. The clouds in the southeast are part of......
5. Bodele Depression dust storm In the southern Sahara Desert, a gap between mountain ranges makes for a natural wind tunnel. Situated within this wind tunnel, Chad’s Bodele Depression is the site of frequent dust storms. In early December 2011, dust plumes blew out of the depression toward the southwest. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer  (MODIS)  on NASA’s  Terra satellite captured this natural-color image on December 9, 2011. The pale dust plumes are easy to spot against the darker tan background of......
6. Huge haboob hits Lubbock, Texas A giant dust storm known as a haboob swept through Lubbock, Texas, on Monday, blotting out the sun and turning everything a hazy copper. The 8,000-foot-tall (2,400 meters) dust cloud knocked down trees and power lines, sparked small wildfires and damaged a hangar at the local airport, reported the Los Angeles Times. Jerald Meadows, a meteorologist based in Lubbock, told the L.A. Times that smaller haboobs of around 1,000 feet (305 m) in height are......
7. Dust off Western Africa Dust blew off the west coast of Africa and over the Atlantic Ocean in late October 2011. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this natural-color image on October 27, 2011. Dust forms a thin veil of translucent beige, and obscures the coastline. The dust is thickest off the coast of Guinea, but a thinner arc of dust extends to Cape Verde in the northwest. The dust likely arose from vast sand seas of the......
