Haboobs, or intense dust storms, can happen during monsoon season! These dust clouds can be thousands of feet high and drastically reduce visibility. This can be dangerous for travelers! What do you do if you're caught in a haboob?
Pull your vehicle off the pavement and onto the shoulder. Stop the car and turn off the lights. Make sure your tail lights are not illuminated. Rear end collisions can occur during dust storms because motorists think they are following the lights of a moving car. Instead, they end up colliding into the back of a parked vehicle along the side of the road.
