In the last 24 hours, Australia has been hit by earthquakes, hail storms, and bush fires. Now Sydney is being attacked by a red dust carried by gale-force winds from the outback. For more, see:

I've been in dust storms before (I lived in the Californian Mojave Desert and sometimes even walked home from school in them), but the video that accompanies the story is extremely eerie. If it weren't for the water (some of the dust was brought in by thunderstorms), you'd think it was some sort of Mars landscape or strange orange-red camera filter. People susceptible to breathing issues have been urged to stay inside. Others are venturing forth at a crawl, many wearing masks.
Wow. It sounds like something out of Cthulhu, omens for another apocalypse. Maybe all those wingnuts going on about the End Times are right after all.

All they need no is a massive volcano and the grandslam will be complete.
