And here is a pic of the same dust storm yesterday at Broken Hill:
The same dust storm in Broken Hill yesterday
Observe the difference in colour after it has traveled from out west to us 800 Km or so.
Another pic of it changing to a more beige colour at about 12:30pm

Hi Wolf,
we are just in Sydney for a week to give our lungs a break from the pollution in Hong Kong! The situation here is pretty much the same as where you are. Can’t see the Opera or the top of Harbour Bridge; no ferries, no internat. flights, traffic chaos. Is this a sign of things to come in the future in Oz???
I don’t think so, a family member told us yesterday that she had seen this before when she was sixteen, so seventy years ago!

Also received these pictures from Amanda who lives at Sydney Northern Beaches this morning:

storm comes through! G
