I get the feeling there should be more in this post?

Nope that was all, Sydney has been hit with a big dust storm thats blanketed the city in red dust overnight and will continue into the day.

we can only hope sydney doesnt survive

I remember being at work when a dust storm hit Brisbane a good 5+ years ago, could see this huge wall of dust in the distance getting closer and closer, it was pretty amazing.

it kinda looks like Sydney, Fallout-style.

Someone has been f***ing with the draw distance

omg its 'the mist'

Well f***

A DUST storm that has left Sydney a bright orange and caused chaos across NSW is rapidly heading towards Brisbane and spreading across the state.
A haze is already visible on Brisbane's western horizon, with the conditions expected to reach their worst by lunchtime.

Bureau of Meterology forecaster Bryan Rollstone said the storm was being pushed out of western New South Wales, propelled by a change from northern to southerly winds.

You doomed us all scuzzy!

Don't anger the dust gods :/

dammit jinxed by a ginger :P

The ginger wave approaches...

quick, buy a 100 pack of those asian SARS masks and sell them at train stations or queen st for a dollar each. easy money.

I'm annoyed I didn't try that this morning. Lost opportunity!

Yeah it's s***, I just left Dubai for f***s sake, I want good Australian weather!!

lmao - yeah, the exponential fog looks so much more realistic.

Also, I heard that Sydney-siders started trading in bottle-caps. Can anyone confirm?

it's due to global warming and only an ETS can save us now.

I hadn't looked outside since I got to work this morning. Just looked out and got a big surprise! Pretty cool really.

wonder how many tonnes of top soil was lost

the news said 75,000 per hour i think
could have been 7500, I wasnt paying that much attention

Topic of the day at work was: "I think I left a window open at home".

Luckily I didn't.

f***, theres only one thing worse than a dust storm, and thats a dust storm from sydney

mexican dust storms

I for one would like to hear faceman's take on this. You smell dirt, I smell conspiracy!
