As reported, West Texas was just hit by a massive dust storm that ended up killing one man and injuring 17 others.

These series of events have caused quite a media stir, and this picture showing what the storm looks like when seen from above is bound to become viral in a matter of hours, seeing how it has already been retweeted by numerous individuals.

The picture was uploaded by a meteorologist in Oklahoma, and sources report that it was taken from a 737 that was sent to fly above the dust storm.
