Creepy isn't it!!! Didn't see one bike on the road on the way into work today - not surprisingly. I woke up and saw the red glow and thought one of the cars was on fire on the front lawn.........although not putting my glasses on before looking out the window probably had something to do with that!

Saw a couple of bikes myself - felt sorry for them for the first time in a couple of years.
Was weirder I think when I got up - just seemed like fog before the sun came up.
Then when it did come up and I noticed the colour I first thought - awesome sunrise.

Lot's of soft-cocks walking around with masks and hankies over their face - pulling faces like it stinks.
It's DUST people - get over it!

It's everywhere it is the same in Dubbo to I woke at 5 this morning and had trouble breathing. I was driving back from Forbes doing a job yesterday real bad storm activity come into a town call Peak Hill and there were trees down and about 4 I saw were lightning damaged just ripped apart.
Work Mate from Canberra told me about the Dust storm so I knew it was heading here , didn't think it would hit you guys though
