Yesterday I was in Phoenix and was going to drive to Southern California and I wanted to take a picture of the Bentley in front of a desert area with a lot of really nice suguaro cactus but I couldn't find a good spot.

I ended up having to park in front of one in a residential area.

Not the greatest picture but the best I could do at that time.

After that I headed West on I-10 and ultimately saw a dust storm up ahead. I was hoping I would get past it before it hit hard.

It was way worse than what you see in this picture. I was going 60 and then BOOM! Zero visibility and instantly I had no clue if I was going to slam into the back of a semi. I slammed on my breaks and my phone flew onto the car floor at my feet.

I got over to the shoulder and the dust was so thick it was like a river running across my windshield.

I started going again to try to get out of the storm. At one point a semi just stopped right in the fast lane.

Once I thought I was out of the woods suddenly it started raining extremely hard and I started getting warnings for flash floods.
