[mememe12356]

i was in the car waiting to pick up a sibling and that happend i was shit scared coz the car was shaking like Crazy and the sky turned black i thought i was gonna die :'(

[goofygal19]

wow

[rainstreeter]

yes i recall this quite well. i was out swimming then washed my car. after that i ate some more shrooms. then we all went to dairy queen.

[Drifter918]

i got this one in sydney too check out my vid :P

[chippet07]

Yeah, I know, it passed over Broken Hil the day before and caused a TOTAL blackout. It was pretty diluted by the time it hit Sydney.

[fishermanswife1957]

How awful! Did the rain wash the mud away or was it just slushy mud everywhere?

[kuzax21]

very weirdly strange lolz

[kuzax21]

wow did this happen on the 22nd of sep?? cos the one in syd jus yesterday was on the 23rd! :O

i feel a prediction comin up lol

[GoatmanAvatar]

its the same dust...... it lew up in broken hill and traveled all the way up the east coast. i live in townsville the sky is still murky

[Max1636]

Today Was Scary.

[AirwaveAwakening]

wow, more like a mud storm

[chippet07]

Yep sure was....

[SuperGravey]

So who caused it by washing their car?

This sort of thing always happens after someone does something uncommon.

[bvonny]

Now I know what my grandpar was talking about

[chippet07]

Yes it was outside the front door to the nurses quarters. Wicked hey!

[Ombre495]

It appears that this video was taken from the medical/nurses residential accomodation at the Broken HIll Hospital good show of a great place

[Brycefox]

Thats so weird... Rain PLUS dust. Kinda like an oxymoron but it exists! Whats the after-affect? Like clay slush everywhere?

[chippet07]

Pretty much everything turns red. no clay, just red mud.

[chippet07]

It was petty over whelming actually but something you had to see with your own eyes!

[Martin9476]

THAT'S JUST F###ING AWESOME!!! Wish I'd been there that day.

[thetuxeffect]

This was such an amazing site! I couldn't believe it! I took pictures but they didn't capture the red properly! Great video!

[jordansjetta]

Come on...what do you expect? The name of the city is "Broken Hill".

[chippet07]

[sufizmjim]

Surreal, love watching storms, perhaps the same scene on a clear day at the same time could be included here.

[Greenday678912345]

OMG I was so scared on that day XD It was awesome, though.

[chippet07]

Same same....!

[actress4ever12]

rained mud! Ill believe it when i c it! just kidding i believe you

[chippet07]

I kid you not!

[u2theedge]

so how common are the dust storms?

[chippet07]

Used to be hardly ever but are getting more and more frequent. 3 or 4 a year! Nothing like this vid tho!

[braiden218]

that was fuckin mad i didnt have ta go to skool that day =]

[chippet07]

MAd! It was INSANE! I never saw anything like it before. Cheers!

[rammergramps]

I was there too, but stupid camera took out the red and lightened it up so not the true colour

[chippet07]

Dont you hate that technology that cleans everything up!

[mccannistar]

It was a spectacular experience. I took heaps of pics but it didn't show the true colour of the sky...that deep orange.

The cars still got the tell tale signs of the storm.

[cowzan]

great storm... i got video too... will have to upload it :)

[chippet07]

Comment from a non member...not me.

WOW These are just awesome. I took a few shots but no vid. I wasnt scared like the October November ones of 2 years ago, my house was under siege from the water damage to my flooring and ceiling fan. And one corner of the sunroom. I felt this storm wasnt going to be like that. The adrenalin was pumping tho Burtys house got flooded. I dont know the extent of the damage but that street always is hit hard during a storm.

TC and THANX HEAPS

Great stuff.

[sneakytoadstool]

this was amazing all the street lights were on during the middle of the day this doesnt happen very often

[RORYALGATE]

Impressive storm....Im used to be from Broken Hill and now live in Townsville...and we heard about you guys up here....so it must have been good.

Hope the town held up okay!!!
