Holy moly. I reckon that second pic was taken with a filter - I've never seen a dust cloud anything like that shade of red, and I've seen plenty of dust.
That dust came over the mountains, from at least five hundred kilometres away. Damn. |
Nah, no filter, it's for real. I woke up this morning and my whole appartment was bright yellow. (I don't get up til 8am) but anyone up around the 4am mark was treated to a blood red sky.

Brisbane is not much better. There's a front coming across from the desert and it's dropping 16000 tons of dust per hour on Brisbane. There's been a haze across the whole city since about midday today.
It's expected to clear a bit by tomorrow. Here's what the city looked like in the daylight today. Attachment 24832 |
How's the saying go? Red sky at night sailors delight, red sky in morning sailors take warning? Red sky all the time....sailors begin to whine?:eyebrow:

Well Now we Know who's fault this is !!! |
We had orange air in Canberra too. And today the water coming out of the tap is pale orange.
|
I sit corrected. Seems that colour WAS real; I think the dawn light contributed to the intensity of it.
The dust cloud was in a front 400km thick and almost 2,000 km long. It is expected to reach New Zealand. It is still early spring, and the inland is totally dry. This summer could well be worse than last summer. |
Fuck. Now the koala's are gonna be begging water *and* goggles.

It was horrible, I woke at 5:10am and Michael (partner) freaked out as he looked out side. I'm still dusting to get rid of the red dust. We had a white dust storm hit on Saturday, not as bad as the red dust. Gotta love those country folks and all their soil.
|
That stuff must be a bitch to clean up. Is it sandy/gritty or more like dirt/soil?
|
it is a bitch to clean. when you add water it turns to mud, not fun at all. It's really fine dust but a shit load of it. I'm going to hire a cleaning lady, but I'm sure they have all quit their jobs by now.
|
They probably all decided to take their vacation (holiday) now. :lol2:
|
Don't worry, I can wait, and so can all my dust. :D I'm anoyed cause I only really dust once a year :) and I only did it last week (Tues), now I have to do it all again. Bugger.
|
Put a feather duster on the dog's tail, and dangle some treats.:D
|
Bugger, now I have to buy a dog. Good idea Bruce. :headshake
I could just wrap Alex in a towel and let him roll all around the place. :headshake |
|
You are funny Bruce, good idea. Alex will probably on do the lounge room cause he can't see the TV from any other room. Hang on hang on, I have a portable DVD player I can use. This may just work. :blush::D is this classified as child abuse????
|
Of course it is, but parents have been doing it forever... consider it tradition.;)
|
Tradition, I love tradition. Consider it done. :cool: I won't tell anyone about it, it's our little secret, oh and Alex.
|
My Dad always says he only had kids so we could get beer for him. It made me feel good to have a purpose in my little life. Now I need a son of my own to get ME beers and continue the legacy :)
|
I know what you mean. Alex is ever so close to opening a bottle of wine for me. The champagne will take a little longer to show him and for him to master not spilling it all.
|
Sky turning pitch black in less than 15 secords. :eek:
|
That's horrific!!
Like out of some SciFi flick. Pitch Black. |
I'd start looking at New Zealand's immigration rules.
|
Good thing I don't live there. I wouldn't have been able to go outside for that day and one or two after!
|
scary
|
Why would you take your lungs and car into that? I don't get it.
|
... at 100kph ... while discussing how other cars around them were pulling over or turning around.
Darwin, Darwin, on the wall, Who is the stupidest of them all? |
