I Had Never Heard Of A Haboob Before,

but I now know what it is,



when strong winds gush out of a collapsing thunderstorm,

 and fly across a dry landscape, they sometimes generate a thick wall of dust known as a haboob,

photographer and storm chaser Mike Olbinski, 

has filmed and collected many such occurrences and made this stunning video of them, he has been documenting these weather events for the past decade and recently compiled dozens of clips into a dramatic timelapse showing just how quickly these phenomena form and subsequently obscure visibility. Taken between 2011 and 2021, the included footage represents a small fraction of Olbinski’s adventures, which you can see more of on YouTube and Instagram, what amazing happenings and he is there just at the right moment!
