My wife and daughter were at home all day yesterday with all doors and windows closed. When I got home we noticed that the floor felt gritty, so I mopped it - the mop head was caked with red dirt and the water in the mop bucket was totally murky with a dark ruddy tinge! (O_o)

I also queued up for 50 minutes at the carwash on my way home too... only to hear on the evening news that we might get another dust storm tomorrow! D'OH!

During my morning commute I noticed so many other cars and roads still covered in red dirt... no need to visit the heart of Australia now, it seems the heart has come to the East Coast!
