Colorado Springs, Colo. — A storm front that dropped temperatures by as much as 50 degrees in 24 hours in Colorado also created a large dust storm that was visible from space, according to KWGN.
As the Arctic air moved south, it picked up dust in the southeastern part of the state and created a Haboob.
Amanda Wicks was flying from Los Angeles to Chicago when posted this photo of the storm on Twitter.
A dust storm outside of Colorado. As the pilot explained, "Those people are having an exceptionally bad day." #life http://t.co/E2LxdIzwMz—

The National Weather Service also posted a photo of the Haboob from one of its satellites.
The visible satellite image verifies this haboob–the leading edge is the cold front, followed by dust! #cowx http://t.co/U7IBCWdk1Q—
