I woke up to the apocalypse

I know this thread doesn't have much content but the picture says it all really.

The bottom picture is Sydney normally the top picture was Sydney today.
[image loading]

I woke up at somewhere between 4 and 5am with red light streaming into my room, turns out there was a gigantic dust storm that settled on Sydney overnight, which is annoying because I only just washed my car windows yesterday..

Pictures:

Good times.

EDIT: Maybe this is common in other parts of the world /shrug apparently only happened once before here in Sydney. It also hit up and down the coast as well I have heard.

Wow nothing like this around where I live. Looks pretty cool IMO but probably a bigger pain in the ass than it's worth.

Also, very nice pictures on the flickr one

If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

Like silent hill and of all sorts! Is this the first time it ever happened in Sydney?

best thing about the pictures.. NO PEOPLE in it!

Was the dust sticky that's why no one was getting out of their house? I mean, it seems you are the only one brave enough to take on the apocalypse head on!

I heard in passing that it has happened once before, but nowhere near this magnitude. The only thing that has ever come close in my memory is extreme bushfires having an 'orangey' (nothing like this!) sunset due to heaps of smoke.

I didn't even know that was possible.
Has anyone ever read an intelligent youtube comment?

yeah it was like that in brisbane today too, at UQ you couldn't see 200 metres across the field >_>
It was like 25 min per mine, buy three, get a vulture free. Makes sense to me if this nighthawk is supposed to be a flying SCV. - Cpt. Cocaine

Yep I'm in Syd too, confusing until my mom had the good sense to turn on the tv.

Yeah i saw this too. My sister woke me up real early (10am) and i thought it was just orange sky like at night or something.

it reminded me of the ash storms from morrowind, actually has been quite a fun day

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.

Yeah I was at a mate's place (brisbane) and it just started getting really yellow and then everything was orange at midday. The worst part was that no matter what, everything got layers of dust on it.

It was so cool to watch that from Perth.

Apparently you could see the dust storm from space.

Yeah, I recall a bushfire-related one happened within the last 2 years.

Most trippy feeling ever today, groggy and trying to find the bathroom with the ambient orange light from the windows
