A movie capturing the overwhelming sight that a huge sandstorm like a cloud swallows everything

In the dry areas of North America, a huge sandstorm ( Hubob ) often occurs. Among them, Arizona State , located in the western part of the United States , is particularly known for its large amount of sand storms, and a huge sandstorm hits the city from the end of June to July, before the full-scale summer. On July 9, 2018 in the middle of such a sandstorm season, a movie of a huge sandstorm occurred in southwest Arizona is on sale on YouTube.

July 9th, 2018 - Haboob / Dust Storm across SW Arizona


In the movie shot from inside the running car, you can see a brownish sandstorm spreading out with the mochmok over the dry ground.

The sand is rolled up to the sky at the most, it can not be distinguished from the clouds. It seems that it is close to black rather than brown because of the high sand density in the part near the ground.

If you look at the other side from the window on the left side, you can see that sandstorm is spreading even ahead of you.

When standing near the sandstorm, a vagrant sight is spreading as if it took a long time around. It is a little unbelievable to think that all these are sand grains rolled up from the ground.

It is a plain that should be good in the outlook, but even if I look around 360 degrees, I do not know how it is several hundred meters ahead.

Also, sandstorms occurring in North America do not always occur at fine weather, sometimes they raid towns and people with thunderstorms. A large grain of rain strikes continuously on the windshield of the car, and sand smoke is standing on the other side.

Even when moving the wiper, it was hard to secure clear visibility, the driver unexpectedly murmured "It's crazy weather."

A sandstorm moves so as to cross the direction of travel, and most of the sight is obstructed by the grain of sand that was left.

When getting off the car and looking at a sandstorm far away, you feel like a feeling of hopelessness as if you were swallowing everything in the world.

From the part covered with sandstorm, you can not see anything.

Because the altitude at which sand is rolled up is too high, it seems like an illusion that the sky is intersecting with the clouds.

I also feel overwhelming force as if I look down at the sandstorm coming from another point.

Too much huge sandstorm seems to excite a lot of people ......

A man who is shooting is turning around here and smiling.

When turning around behind, some other cars stop, and I am crazy about taking sandstorms.

On the opposite lane, the child climbs up to the roof of the car and is observing a sandstorm.

Although I can not afford it because I am far away, I do not think that I would like to enter that.

In the boundary between the sandstorm and the ground, some houses were about to be swallowed. In the state of Arizona where the utility pole collapses due to a sandstorm and thousands of households will be out of power , the sandstorm is absolutely a disaster.

However, sandstorms seemed to be a big event for some people, and there were many people who held the camera by taking the tripod.

People called "storm chaser" who burns passion for chasing after sandstorms heads to a spot suitable for photographing sandstorms in cars while grasping weather information ......

Sometimes it invades the middle of a sandstorm. It's dark and difficult to understand, but the two lights are mostly blocked by sand and the front is almost invisible.

Sand hits the bonnet and windshield and the sound of the tick is echoed constantly and we can not grasp the surrounding situation.

A car that crosses the front is felt as if it suddenly jumped out of the dark.

Because the car can not drive very quickly, so I was progressing slowly. This movie, which captured the sandstorm from various angles, was a thing that could be enjoyed at once with a sense of unexpected excitement and terrible as a disaster.
