Its still dusty in Brisbane, 9:30pm. I saw people at the carwash... /slapface.
I work on the river and by lunch I couldn't see the ferris wheel at all. And walking down Queen st. mall was like being in an orange wind-tunnel.

yeh we been lucky so far...all the last cyclones predicted to hit us in rocky have managed to slip out to sea and die so far (touch wood)
everyone here in rocky were all like"no a dust storm OMG" so i was expecting something like sydney so it was a bit of an epic fail as far as people being tools and panicking

Well when I woke up yesterday morning in Newcastle I could have sworn there was a fire in my backyard (I back onto a Nature Reserve) so I freaked out. Went upstairs and called my neighbour and she informed me it was from SA and it was just dust. Driving to work was interesting. Our sky was the colour of Dan's first pics.. pretty hectic. Didn't do any good for my chest or my eyes though. I have a bad cough today because of it!
Oh yeah and Thanks Dan.. might just find one and get it washed tomorrow.

3am this morning was driving out of brisbane going past moorooka magic mile and it looked like all the cars had been sitting on the lot for years. My car is now even more dirtier as had about 5kms of dirt to get here.

Haha that's funny Rusty. Yes I've decided I'm not going to wash my car yet because the wind is still very heavy here.. chances are if I did wash the car something would happen to make it dirty again. Always the way lol.

As I was driving to Lordworm's place last night, the atmosphere was getting thicker and thicker. Basically by the time I got to Graceville, there was another small dust storm happening. It wasn't nice having to walk to the shops to get our pizza with the wind blowing so much dust at us. By the time I get back to Logan, we had a bit of it here, but nowhere near as bad as Salisbury and Graceville! MadMat got out of there just in time.
