A massive dust storm, or haboob, swept through Phoenix on Monday, darkening skies, halting traffic, cutting power to tens of thousands, and damaging Phoenix Sky Harbor airport.

The storm, followed by heavy rain, wind, and lightning, left flights delayed and caused leaks inside the airport.

Residents described near-zero visibility, rattling winds, and dust seeping into homes.

While parts of Arizona have seen rain this monsoon season, Phoenix has remained unusually dry, The Guardian has reported.

Forecasters expect a chance of more rain before conditions clear.
