dust storm, sydney, au

Per Eriksson says:

It is dry very dry. The dust storm that hit southern parts of Au east coast today is making its way up north. With a bit of luck when we wake up tomorrow morning it is to a blue sky. It goes to show how dependent we are on a clean environment.

<P>     Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) -- An orange blanket of dust blown in
from Australia’s Outback engulfed Sydney today, shrouding the
<A target="_blank" href="http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/">Opera House</A> with choking powder, snarling traffic and disrupting
flights before swirling up Australia’s eastern seaboard.     </p> <P>“It’s like a nuclear winter morning,” tourist Peter
Wilson, 53, said at Circular Quay in central Sydney as fog horns
echoed across the harbor. “It is so eerie.”     </p> <P>The dust cloud, more than 500 kilometers (310 miles) wide
and 1,000 kilometers long, was the largest to hit Sydney since
the 1940s and was driven from the drought-stricken interior by
gale-force winds, the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.bom.gov.au">Bureau of Meteorology</A> said. The city’s
skies returned to their usual blue by early afternoon as the
storm swept through Brisbane, almost 1,000 kilometers </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/322F8E81-2CF2-47B8-B30E-CF256FC3A6C7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
