Well yes ... and no. We might get a couple a year or none for several years here in Brissy. Usually though I think somewhere in this vast country a dust storm hits a city every year or so.Quote:

This even made the Provincial news way up here. This stuff must wreak havoc on any air filters. Should make for some spectacular sunsets as soon as it clears off.
Love the colour in the photo, I have seen many from the dust storm there and that is as good as any I have seen. Would be nice to photograph but must be horrid to clean up after one so massive passes through.
The dust storm was gone by morning. We woke to a beautiful, cloudless, blue sky and no wind.
On the news last night they warned us they are predicting a 2nd dust storm to hit over the weekend.
Cool picture. I saw this on the news here in BC last night. A friend of mine is in Sydney right now for a vacation. He is super paranoid about things and believe it or not, he brings dust masks on every vacation, finally, he isn't going to be looked at as weird...
We'll probably find other reasons to find him weird ;)Quote:

Sydney copped it during the day and we got it as dusk fell. Lying in bed last night listening to 60 kph winds we could taste the dust in the air even though the house is completely shut up and only 4 or 5 years old.
No sign of it in the house thankfully but the old Camry is going to need it's second wash this week thanks to these dust storms.
Yea, we've got dust in our house, I spent yesterday morning sweeping it up and getting rid of it, even then, we could still smell it in the air, I was sneezing alot. Thankfully the second dust storm was no where near as bad as the first, and it cleared quickly, ours was gone by 11am.
