It does look kind of apocalyptic. <br /><br />My friend Gary gave me his meteorological explanation of why this happened in Sydney ... Long story short, there is a severe drought in the interior of Australia (what's new?) that created a lot of loose soil/dust ... some high based thunderstorms that kicked up aforementioned dirt and dust ... an anomalous flow that was not zonal but more meridional ... i.e. north-south ... that brought that vast amount of dust on a trajectory right over New South Wales. <br /><br />It'll end and the world will return to its normal condition.Regulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908072367667145521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-80014512862898716602009-09-24T09:56:04.858+10:002009-09-24T09:56:04.858+10:00It was 'the other day', wasn't it, not...It was 'the other day', wasn't it, not yesterday...

He woke, looked at it, said hello (he's not a panicker) and it flew back out the window. <br /><br />Just thought you'd like that story.Ampersand Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245377686193859488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-32510579104020295222009-09-23T23:23:41.333+10:002009-09-23T23:23:41.333+10:00Thinking of you, lovely fifiThinking of you, lovely fifiShaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972771695771196585noreply@blogger.com
