A massive Sahara dust cloud that’s blanketing the Caribbean and has caused air quality to fall to “hazardous” conditions is on its way to the United States.
The massive dust roll, nicknamed the “Godzilla dust cloud” has health experts warning those on Caribbean islands to stay inside and use air filters to combat the bad air quality.
An environmental health specialist with the University of Puerto Rico said the huge dust cloud is “the most significant event in the last 50 years.”
