When you think of weather phenomena, haboobs might not be the first thing to mind. These massive walls of dust often form quickly and can obscure visibility in a matter of minutes. For the past decade, photographer Mike Olbinski has been recording these colossal weather occurrences, and he just recently compiled hundreds of videos into a spectacular timelapse. The footage shows just how quickly these phenomena form and subsequently obscure visibility. If you’re interested in seeing more, check out Olbinski’s YouTube and Instagram pages!
