i got to work in it all day. eyes and a dry mouth were the worst bit.

RHINO145 · 23-09-2009, 09:24 PM

i thought we got it bad in canberra, was coughing up dust and trying to get it outta my eyes after just going to get petrol but it looked like nothing compared to some of the pics, crazy

Pattax · 23-09-2009, 09:25 PM

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.

well thought id finish it off with a nice one about noon-1 there should be a victoria bridge visible there (from goodwill bridge)

Rix · 23-09-2009, 11:37 PM

Haha Tony u've now inspired me to go and explore brisbane although its a little hard to see in that pic its still evident its a city i should explore

Ghoru · 24-09-2009, 07:06 AM

wow i cant believe that all we got up here was what looked like an early morning mist. walking home from work last night it was a bit hazy but you could easily see across town

70NYD · 24-09-2009, 07:43 AM

yeah well u are like 600km north of us.... looks t the difference between brisbane and sydney.. and the wind wasnt that strong so most of the stuff got deposited..
dw mate, there are 2 cyclones planned for qld this summer according to bom.. u guys up north will get your share of storms

Ghoru · 24-09-2009, 08:10 AM

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

asanga · 24-09-2009, 09:37 AM

apparently they are predicting another one tomorrow or Saturday!!!! in Sydney....so dont wash your cars yet!!!..lol

Rix · 24-09-2009, 09:42 AM

Dam it! i was just about to wash my car lol, i might just do a quick rinse and then let it be until the weekend

Ky_88 · 24-09-2009, 12:46 PM

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.

RustyKaos · 24-09-2009, 04:30 PM

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.

Ky_88 · 24-09-2009, 04:58 PM

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.

Rix · 26-09-2009, 12:29 PM

Haha i washed my car, quick rinse over with the hose, and then yesterday i noticed that while i was sleeping the birds decided to make my car dirty, spose thats what you get for living in the trees lol

zappy65 · 26-09-2009, 02:54 PM

We had to wear respirator masks at work...and the workshop....well, the 1st years had fun...

chicaboo · 27-09-2009, 09:31 AM

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.
