A huge dust storm has swept across Phoenix, Arizona, as aerial footage showed a giant cloud of dust moving over the city and major roads.

The national weather service issued a warning about the conditions, and advised motorists to pull over if the blowing dust affected their visibility.

Known as a 'haboob', the intense storms can generate winds of up to 40 miles per hour.
