Were you in it? Was it scary?

Bright sunny day and blues skies here in Far North Qld Larry

Sydney is 2,609 km way south from us.

I'm envisioning something like from the Mummy movies....evil, little, abrasive particles that smothering everything.

Just been looking at these pictures - scary! Glad you're not involved Steve

A little more information.

I saw this in the news this morning. Looks magical

Is it actually a storm or is it just air with red dust that has moved over a part of Australia? Hope no one gets hurt.

Thank goodness it only rains in Scotland - day after day after day ---------- day

Some of the dust has made it to the Far North, though none where we live at this time.
