A massive dust storm, referred to as a haboob, has swept across Central California, particularly impacting areas like Bakersfield, Fresno, and Tulare County. The storm has resulted in a 20-car pileup and left thousands without power, with reports indicating that over 8,000 residents in Bakersfield experienced outages. Strong winds and reduced visibility forced traffic halts and led to significant property damage as trees were knocked down and power lines were affected. The National Weather Service issued multiple dust storm warnings and advisories in response to the chaos. Timelapse videos show the storm engulfing cities, while residents are urged to remain cautious as conditions remain volatile.
