On the evening of July 25, Phoenix, Arizona, in the western United States, was hit by a huge sandstorm. The billowing dust is 1,000 meters high and 50 kilometers wide. The dust was followed by heavy rain and strong winds, causing power outages for 12,000 local residents and the cancellation of many flights. This is the second major dust storm to hit Arizona this month. Meteorologists say that at this time of year, Arizona is the "hardest hit area" for dust storms. Statistics show that the local area is hit by large sandstorms (visibility less than 400 meters) an average of 3 to 4 times a year.
