Aug. 26 (UPI) — Planes are flying out of Phoenix again Tuesday after dust storms blew through central Arizona on Monday, grounding flights and knocking out power to thousands.<\/p>\n
The Federal Aviation Administration announced a flight stoppage<\/a> around 9:30 p.m. EDT at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport due to the weather before lifting the restrictions about an hour later.<\/p>\n Video of the storms<\/a> showed walls of dust — known as haboobs — move across the Phoenix metropolitan area Monday. More than 40,000 people lost electricity<\/a> during the event, which was created by winds from thunderstorms that lift dust and debris skyward.<\/p>\n As of 1:20 p.m. EDT Tuesday, over 3,400 customers were without power<\/a> in Arizona.<\/p>\n Haboobs can be thousands of feet high and stretch for miles. The weather phenomenon can roll in with little warning and severely decrease visibility.<\/p>\n The FAA reported that thunderstorms could cause delays at<\/a> Phoenix Sky Harbor again Tuesday. The airport replied to a question on its Facebook page<\/a> Tuesday at approximately 12:30 p.m. EDT that “All operations are normal” at that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug. 26 (UPI) — Planes are flying out of Phoenix again Tuesday after dust storms blew through central…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":177802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[5229,5643,1587,95583,12104,1589,100751,19290,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-177801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arizona","10":"tag-az","11":"tag-dust-storms","12":"tag-federal-aviation-administration","13":"tag-phoenix","14":"tag-phoenix-metropolitan-area","15":"tag-phoenix-sky-harbor","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115096710353862617","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
