Sticking with the monsoon theme, here’s what I would imagine a dust storm looks like in the beginning. This one didn’t do much and certainly was not a giant haboob, but it gives those not from the Southwest a feeling of the variety of conditions triggered by the monsoon season.
Also to note for anyone shooting downwind of flying dust – get ready to make friends with the spot removal tool of your photo editing software! 
Camera: Nikon D3000 with 18-55mm Nikkor Lens

Nice shot, Kristi.
Never saw one of these live and always wondered what they were really like.
Pretty cool sky to contrast with the dust below.

I can’t imaging how much havoc a dust storm could cause on gear. I guess you are getting good at cleaning your own gear

Might not have made it into a haboob, but still a good image of a dust storm.
