Huge dust cloud gathers over Arizona

A huge dust cloud has blown through suburbs in Phoenix, Arizona severely limiting visibility in the area for several kilometres.

Aerial footage taken from a news helicopter captured the storm, known as a haboob, on camera.

The dust storm followed heavy rains and strong winds in other parts of the state.

This type of storm, which often disappears within minutes, is relatively common in the large desert communities found in Arizona.
