A massive dust storm covered many cities on Australia’s east coast yesterday, causing a ‘red out’ in Sydney, massive amounts of dust in Brisbane and – as you can see in this video – absolute blackouts in other areas.

Between the earthquakes and the dust storms, Australia’s eastern states certainly had an interesting day yesterday!

Now as people clean up the dust in the north and assess the damage in the south, Australians can’t help but wonder what is next on the list of strange events…

I didn’t get much haze from the dust and didn’t feel the quakes (though they were close), but I think I will just sit back and consider myself lucky.
