Intense Monsoon Storm and Haboob Unleash Chaos Across Phoenix Metro Area

The Phoenix metropolitan area is assessing the aftermath of a powerful monsoon storm and massive dust storm (haboob) that swept through the region on August 24th and 25th, 2025. The severe weather brought widespread power outages, significant property damage, and treacherous conditions, impacting communities from Scottsdale to Chandler.

Residents woke up to a landscape dotted with fallen trees, blocked roads, and debris, particularly evident along Scottsdale Road, Mill Avenue in Tempe, and various points across Phoenix. Emergency crews have been working to clear extensive damage, including uprooted trees near Camelback Road and 16th Street, and blocked sidewalks in downtown Phoenix.

Dramatic images captured the immense scale of the haboob as it rolled into Chandler, Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley, blanketing the area in dust before the heavy rains and winds hit. The monsoon system caused disruptions at Sky Harbor and left thousands without power, marking one of the most impactful weather events of the season.
