Sydney sees RED

Yes. This seriously happened.


Wednesday, September 23rd, Sydney was blanketed with a thick dust storm that pushed air pollution levels 1500 times their normal levels and covered half of NSW. It started hundreds of kilometers inland when dry top soil was scooped from the earth and pushed by huge gusts of wind to the east.







I can't even begin to explain what it was like waking up at 5:30am to an orange glow coming through the windows. It was like waking up on Mars. Almost felt like it was the end of the world. I've never experienced anything like it... and probably won't ever again. But it's pretty cool to say that I did.
