Time-Lapse Video of Massive Phoenix Dust Storm

Yea I was putting on the door panel after a window repair on my thunderbird when a neighbor came out talking about a huge dust storm in Casa Grand (About 40 miles NE of PHX) heading our way. I looked up and could see what looked like dark low lying clouds within minutes it closed the distance a large amount and I knew that they weren't clouds in the normal sense. A few minutes later south mountain was obscured (seen in video on extreme right) and I knew at that moment that we were in for something crazy! Less that 5 minutes later like a movie I watched as the sky to the right and left disappeared and then it was upon us. It was like a sand storm from a Sahara movie but with dust and it was everywhere. Houses a few doors down disappeared and it became black.
