Desert storm

The dust storms that swept across Eastern Australia yesterday were the worst in living 70 years.

The plume of dust stretched 400 miles along the coast and was dumping 75,000 tons of dust per hour into the Tasman Sea.

The air in Sydney normally contained 10 micrograms of particles per cubic metre of air - but those levels soared to 15,400 yesterday!!!
