Holy shit.


I know we have at least three members in Australia; Phlexor, SleepyDragon and TCO.


Were any of you affected?

Didn't get it in Townsville, although Brisbane copped a fair bit. I think Melbourne missed it, but it's been pissing down rain there. Rain and hail predicted for the footy this afternoon, BTW.

Yup.


























I can't help but wonder what the devoted Christians were thinking when they woke up to this.

Oh noes hell is freezing over, Jesus please forgive and don't damn me to eternity!!  :bigcry:

Wow, that's awesome.

Not at all fun for those affected I'm sure, but the pictures are surreal.  :o

Something like that happened in 1908 when the big explosion (probably a comet hitting Earth) happened in Tunguska. The dust blew all the way to London.

We've been getting mild dust storms here too up in Northeast Victoria, not anywhere near as severely as Sydney was. However we've had those kind before around here as well, especially during or after a major bushfire.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

That is a very impressive dust cloud. I am happy to be in N. CA right now instead of in that mess.

GA and I live over the other side of Australia - nothing happens here.

I have never seen anything like those pictures. It can't have been good for anyone to breathe that dust in. I have asthma so I would have stayed inside.

I bet the car wash businesses will be doing a roaring trade now.

Oh, I didn't realize you and GA were down under as well as Singularity. There are quite a few Australians here.

"Health authorities, meanwhile, have urged people with asthma or breathing difficulties to stay indoors. The official air quality index for New South Wales recorded pollutant levels as high as 4,164 in Sydney. A level above 200 is considered hazardous."
