Why is there dust everywhere?

I woke up awhile ago and there seems to be dust covering all the cars outside. What happened?

Duststorm is, uhh, dusty? kind of cool looking too, everything has changed. When it was thickest I ran out and pretended to be muad dib from DUNE (yeah, i'm that cool)

Apparently It blew in from lake eyre or something, bad for them but good for our gardens. They lost TONNES of topsoil. It hit really suddenly and lasted for about the past day, i'm in canberra so rain cleared it up pretty fast, what about everyone else?

Re: Why is there dust everywhere?

During winter in Australia low pressure storms are generated in the Indian and Southern Oceans, whipping up huge seas and creating severe cold fronts which sweep across southern and eastern Australia. A severe thunderstorm with 100 km per hour (60 miles per hour) plus winds formed in South Australia state on Monday and began whipping up dust from drought-hit outback lands. As vegetation gets dried off the topsoil is loosened, and it easily blows away. As the dust storm travelled into the eastern seaboard state of New South Wales, one of the worst hit by drought, it grew in size and by Wednesday morning was affecting most of NSW, the fifth biggest state or territory representing 10 percent of the island continent, and had descended on Sydney like a thick blanket.

Re: What was your first thought this morning when you saw the red/orange sky?

No HSC? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"....still orange"

HAHA. +1
Butsrsly, I did think that it was a mass of toxic gas or something bad. I was kind of freaking a little. I was looking news updates on the net, and I couldn't find any (bear in mind, this was at 6:am)
And, I laughed when I was playing "O Green World" by Gorillaz. "O Green World, don't desert me now".
I found it appropriate.

Out west we had an electrical storm first; the dust storm came along afterwards late at night.
