Stretching from Gateway Airport to South Mountain Park and moving north at 15 mph, the storm prompted a National Weather Service advisory urging drivers to pull over, turn off headlights, and avoid slamming brakes. Major highways including I-10, I-17, and Route 51 faced severe hazards, especially between key mile markers, as commuters battled near-zero visibility. A stark reminder of nature’s sudden power—and why staying safe matters more than ever in the desert. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
