I'm 1,400 kilometres away in Adelaide at the moment, so I missed it, but apparently it was a doozy.
I guess you don't get too many dust storms in that part of the world, huh? They're not infrequent here, with lots of desert and open farm land for the westerlies and (particularly here in South Australia) hot northerlies to whip up and dump on the populated areas. They can be eerie and spectacular, but never any fun.
Meanwhile, here in Adealide this week it's cold, wet and particularly miserable.

Yes I'm living in Sydney but spending 3 weeks in Adelaide preparing the old family home for sale. The cold weather isn't helping, but it's better than dust storms.

RE: That red dust
No blown fens round these parts Dan, though the tractors seem to rake up plumes of dust.
Plenty of turbulent air thanks to the numerous whirlybirds departing Helitech this morning. I love watching jellywobblers do their thing; they seem the most unlikely hoverers when parked up yet are so agile in ther air.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph

Dust storm pics
Here we go: the best photos of the Sydney dust storm appeared, naturally enough, in a Boston newspaper: go figure...
