Arizona dust storm comes through Maricopa County

(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - In Arizona, a massive dust storm swept through Maricopa County Friday evening.

It happened after storms began to pop up earlier in the day.

These dust walls can be very dangerous!

As the storms build, they can completely block out the sun - making it nearly impossible to see. 

They’re described as some of the most dramatic weather events seen in the valley each year.

The effects of dust storms can linger for days, worsening air quality and causing difficulty breathing.
