MASSIVE, Massive Dust Storm...

Man... the East coast of Australia always has the fun events!

The dust storm was so immense in scale, it could be seen from orbit! And today, it was a fine and sunny day there. It was truly bizarre. The weather went like this:

 

Monday: Fine and sunny.

Tuesday: Fine and sunny.

Wednesday: Massive red nebula descends, freaking out some rather "special" people into thinking it was Armageddon.

Thursday: Fine and sunny, a little layer of dust on everything.

All that was needed, was Mel Gibson appearing out of the cloud, driving a sand-blasted, black 1973 Ford Falcon XB, with a blown 351 Cleveland jutting out from it's hood.

Fubar, if that had happened in my home town, I would have gone out of my way to freak out my neighbours. And that would have been just the ticket! lol

We had it here in Brisbane, but it was nowhere near as bad as in Sydney, just alot of dust and it made visibility low.
