dust storm

It was really horrible weather....and it happened twice within a week.

Dust storm hit the East coast of Australia last Wednesday and Saturday late arvo. The report is here.
Heard Sydney was worse than Brisbane but even in Brisbane it could still make me feel that was the end of the world. The sky was all yellow and couldn't see anything further than 30m!!! I shut the window as soon as the sky changed the colour but we all smelt the dust inside the house and the house went all dusty. (Can you tell how much work I put into for cleaning afterward??)

The reason for this weather is due to the dry weather in inland. Some specialist (maybe meteorologiest in this case?) believes that if it doesn't get any precipitation on inland, dust storm might happen on the East coast again. It's not only cleaning afterwards that gives us hard time, but also human health is threatened.

Anyway, for those people who have been worried about me and my family, we are all fine. This is a little tiny bit of my update for the storm disaster.
