Mallee Dust Storm 2007

It was a quarter to six p.m. this evening when this monster dust storm struck the back of my home.. Outside, the winds are still raging, the skies filled with sand, grit and dust from across the mallee.

I managed to gather a few photos as it was dangerous to be outside in such weather. Strong winds can bring down tree limbs, and many other things can happen which I won't go into here.

And, this is the drought in the mallee....

The sun has still to set .... "if you don't mind having to like or lump it, it's a fine life!"
