PHOENIX - A huge dust storm that rolled into the Valley Tuesday even managed to engulf Camelback Mountain at one point during its spread.

Time lapse video from ABC15's tower camera showed the wall of dust overtaking the mountain as it continued to move across the Phoenix area.

The massive haboob left thousands without power Tuesday night and created dangerous driving conditions when visibility was reduced to zero.
