Woke up this morning and everything was red and freaky, so i looked out the window and it was red everywhere, everything is covered in dust,, the sky is still orange, the wind is so strong and you can smell dirt. its all very weird

Sounds awkward yet strangely cool. I like the sound of it but probably would hate being there lol ;P

GoBabyGoGo · 22nd Sep 2009, 09:51 PM

Danielle · 23rd Sep 2009, 12:04 AM

It was awesome this morning, especially going inside and everything seems so bright.

Haven't had a big duststorm in ages. They are pretty eary when they happen. Used to get them pretty regularly in SA when I was a kid.

Arrge it was horrible; I swear my town got hit worse than anywhere!

I couldn't seen the houses on the other side of the street when I woke up thismorning!

Typically, I had to walk through the dust for 20 minutes to catch a bus to a job interview.

So much for turning up "neat and tidy'.

*epic cry*

hannahhrosee · 23rd Sep 2009, 08:00 AM

theyre here!!

Jose Carioca · 23rd Sep 2009, 09:12 AM

It reminds me of the San Diego wild fires.

Revan · 23rd Sep 2009, 11:38 AM

Little negative there tokwa. It's not odd. Things happen everyday that seem odd but are just natural cuz I mean really. Ten years of rather dry weather has caused tons of top soil to develop and when the strong westerlies came in, they swept up all the top soil.

NickT · 23rd Sep 2009, 01:58 PM

I'd rather have dust instead of rain.

donnie5 · 23rd Sep 2009, 02:31 PM

i dont think i could handle that it would drive me insane!! but i don't think i would do well in australia any seeing as i can't stand the heat!!
