Dust Storm Sheets Sydney in - uh, Dust
In what is being called the most photogenic natural disaster of 2009, Australian cultural capital Sydney has been blanketed with a thick coating of red dust. In the past 24 hours the city experienced a phenomenal dust storm that’s delayed public transportation and left even seasoned meteorologists stunned. It’s even been reported that visibility is down to a few hundred…wait. A few hundred meters? Isn’t that like, a mile?
Okay, so, the photos of this so-called disaster are pretty extraordinary; but when was the last time some American complained about only being able to see a mile in front of them? We’re pretty sure LA smog causes similar circumstances on the daily. But whatever—life must be tough in Australia, what with all the zorbing and kangaroo riding and baby koalas that require petting and eucalyptus treats every five minutes. Our hearts go out to you, Australia. Keep your head up, MATE.
