Farmers and drivers between Tucson and Phoenix know dust storms can start suddenly, especially during Monsoon.
MARANA, Ariz. — Arnoldo Burruel knows the open fields north of Tucson are prone to walls of blowing dust, especially during Monsoon.
“When the wind is blowing hard—especially like a lot of the ground that I farm, which is in close proximity to roads, to I-10—we shut down. We shut down production,” he said. “The city really covers up a lot of the loose soil, where here, there’s almost nothing to cover up that loose soil and all the dust that’s been sitting on top of it,” he explained.
