Texas Panhandle dust storm looks like a massive tsunami


A massive dust storm almost 100-miles-wide swept over the Texas Panhandle Tuesday night.

Forecaster Nicholas Fenner told AP the storm flung dust 2,000 feet into the air before dissipating. A cold front with high-speed winds picked up dirt in Colorado and Kansas and spread it around the panhandle area, AP reported.

Photos of the storm look like a massive gray tidal wave is taking over the horizon.
