Post apocalypse Sydney.

I'm sure everyone has heard about the dust storm in Sydney today - it really was unbelievable. We woke up bright orange light coming through the windows at about 6 o'clock. I got up and took this picture - which doesn't even do it justice. It was so bright it was almost fluorescent. The light went from red to orange to yellow through the morning. The wind was totally fierce, and there was red dust on everything. It was so bizarre - it really felt like some sort of post apocalyptic event. Heaps of people walking around with masks on - I don't blame them - breathing was actually quite hard, and pollution levels were 1500 times higher than normal. And it's just surreal walking in and around the city with this bright haze everywhere. Everyone is saying it's a once in a lifetime event, and the papers and TV stations are LOVING it. ABC just had someone on from "Dust Watch" at Griffith University. Bet this is the most exciting day of his life. Shine while you can my friend... The view from someones house which has a bit of a better view than ours...
