Looks like a clip from that Mummy movie Tom Cruise made some years back. EEK!

The main force was a little west of us but we got hit. There's nothing like a 2500-ft high wall of dust and desert grit being blown by 70 MPH winds to get your heart pumping!
Here's a photo from about my house taken yesterday afternoon at about 4, looking east as the Superstition Mountains disappear...

Yikes! Does it leave a heavy coat over your solar panels?

Not usually as they are pushed by high wind and usually rain. After this one blasted through there was a lightning storm with enough rain to wash the solar panels. It rained a lot to the west of us in Phoenix. Flash flooding in downtown I read. But, it's all part of the joy of the desert in monsoon season.
