Sydney Dust Storm 23-09-09 6:30am

[cozbo93]

i rmemeber the night before i was driving and i waashed my screen woth the wipers and water, and after i wiped the screen and it was heaps dusty and was heaps confused. for the rare time i slept with my shutter open cause it helps me wake up in morning and it was probs 5am i woke up and was half asleep nd i thought to myself "i dont remember having orange windows" then snoozed off. 1 hour later my mum got me up all excited and realised wat an idiot i was hahaha :P

[ruideng111]

if i woke up to that i would probably totally shit my pants for about 5 seconds

[DDofCourage]

That day was amazing, I thought maybe the world was gonna end at first XD I wish I'd taken photos.

[seriousnews2]

That was from Olympic Dam, the uranium mine, as the co's like BHP don't get rid of the tailings from their unnecessary mine... Nuke power is not needed, wind and solar are better. Unless you put strong regulations on BHP etc, you are dead Australia.

[AmbipomMuffins]

the dust storm was awesome bcoz i didnt hav to go to skool on that day

[aggrovator83]

it looks like mars blah blah blah i swear every aussie in the country has said that like its not obvious it looks like fucking mars

[defrag34]

Yes looks like Mars

[dovermoreno]

It looks like Satan should come out from behind that building and say, "Welcome to Hell !"

[Kingkong922]

I missed the dust storm. Wish it happens again. :(

[paoloelfo]

n'gulo... che cazz di macell...

[Smallie7]

same happened up on the gold coast

woke up home alone and it was all quiet

walked down stairs

looks out the window

all red

i was like :| judgment day.!!!

[DrLeavingsoon]

Welcome to Mars.

Is this a harbinger of things to come?

[123ali456gholi789did]

omg that looks like those scenes from supernatural movies kinda like hell :S

which brings up the question  who is responsible for cleaning it afterwards :D ?

[AndyJay15]

Gonna be a big job cleaning all that up. It's gonna be like a beach everywhere.

[JMusicLive]

does it feel hot?

[chriseatschopsuey]

if i saw that i'd say "damn nasa's done it again"

[imloslitos]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm lets try this again

[hardstylez45]

first thought- fire when bright orange was coming through my windows at 530am. got me moving pretty quick until my old man called me an idiot and to go back to sleep

[mcshnee]

I woke up in the afternooon and missed everything!

[zayno2]

[waz4477]

[RiseAgainstLolz]

[railroadtrash09]

Reminds me of Iraq... with trees.

[Ro0tSe]

OMFGWTFBBQ!! Greetings from Mexico! That's a little bit scary and kinda cool

[AlexanderKafkis]

AMAZING!

[Nikininjaar]

@ mik3m6232

i live further south, but that was the same for me!

not nearly as bad, and today it was like nothing ever happened.

[lediep89]

yah i also got up at 6:30

My friend asked me WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT WAS 23-12-2012?? i rekon 90% ppl would ....and.... .

[Mik3m6232]

jeez, your were hit bad, gold coast wasnt too bad, but i couldnt see the end of my street at about 12:30, today its clear, as if it never happened.

[253UC]

Except 9/10 cars are filthy :P

[bigredtaxi]

Is this shot at Greenway Park? I was up there last night and everything looked clean for some reason.

[ropetherapy]

Yes thats Greenway Park, Well spotted.

[iluvirishboys]

lol i live in queensland and i woke up to heaps of wind and didn't realise anything was up until i went outside and my friend pointed out that the sky was brown. lol

[mattis09]

you poor camera!

you may kkill your camera with sand...

[closeMyEYES1]

this is awesome

[WhiteSandCafe]

this is one of the many signs of the upcoming dec 21st 2012... guys wake up ok?

[sartanko]

If that's true, then i'm just loving it.

[Bambiliciousness]

Dipshit.

[TheStig000]

Stfu. You're taking every big event that happens and attributing it to your own superstition. I'll see you in 2013.

[screenieplay]

here's climate changes after 2013

watch?v=bOlkxvyVT5w

you will see lots of riots and spinning out of control people.

[TheStig000]

That doesn't count. The world is supposed to end in 2012 according to the 2012 nuts. 2013 shouldn't exist.

[tofftoffer]

OMG...whats going on?

[ropetherapy]

I drove from Hornsby to campbelltown today on the M2/M7 and noticed the road was pretty much brown with dust the entire way. At about 1pm the cover broke and there was blue sky over the home of the mighty wests magpies.

[laurenem22]

i thought there was a bushfire this morning lol

[PungusFungus]

[spookymonste]

[thecritc09]

OMG my alarm woke me at 7 and i saw this red tint and im like wtf is this place on fire, so i looked out of the blinds and im like holy shit!

[AquaRing]

Oh Jesus, this is right when I woke up. At first I thought some idiot somehow moved the road streetlights, you know, the ones that provide light for night travellers (they're orange around here) and then I opened the windows and HOLY SHIT IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WINDY IN THE MORNING

*waves to anyone living near Penrith*

[cowswithguns999]

i saw this wen i woke up all the blinds were all red and it was like the world was over

[aussiekenworth85]

Everyone was tripping out on the radio sayin oh its the end of the world and this bloke from the army rang up saying

"Its a perfect day whilst in iraq its that bad u cant do nothing,so stop whindging and get over it"

[reno1111111100]

[DontQuestionMeKid]

[ravia1988]

[meganbaybayy]

yeah i heard some people thought it was the apocalypse haha

[nikefitcr9]

i thought it was the apocalypse.

[ropetherapy]

NekoJenn , Sydney is GMT +10 hours

I drove up to the local park and shot the footage a bit before 6:30.

I posted the video within about 15 minutes of shooting it on my nokia N93

after driving home.

[ashtweth]

Guys this technology could of prevented this , cleared it and managed the winds, put in panacea drought relief in google

[cam9408]

canberra was like that but it wasn't as orange!

[NekoJenn]

I like how this video was uploaded on the 22nd, even though the video was shot on the 23rd. It's not such a small world!

[ravia1988]

are you suggesting that it's fake? i can assure you it was not. it has been on the news the whole day here. if you live in the usa or some place else it would have still been the 22nd because the sky was that colour at about 6:30 A.M. sydney time 23rd of sept. if you don't believe it type in sydney dust storm on google.

[gettingmygrooveback4]

It's the 23rd in Australia. we are about 10 hours ahead of you

[NekoJenn]

What does 'not a small world' mean to you? I commented that the world is so big that you can post a video from today yesterday.

I thought it was awesome.

[ozarizona]

Youtube is an American site.

Video was shot in Australia.

When its the 22nd in America, its the 23rd in Australia. FYI

Welcome to Timezone difference.

[ravia1988]

yeah some people are ignorant unfortunately & think there's just one time zone lol!

[NekoJenn]

Congratulations on completely ignoring the 'not a small world' line. Such intelligence on Youtube *rolleyes*

I'm completely aware of time zone difference, that's what I was commenting on.

[ropetherapy]

lol, Sorry, It wasnt meant as an insult, just wanted to clarify the timezone and when it was uploaded.

Peace Rope

[DannyV1991]

Blanketed

[fromoxwithlove]

absolutely amazing. this looks like mars i would have freaked out!

you aussies hang in there...thanks for the video i live in the US and i read about this online i wanted to see a video!

[ravia1988]

it wasn't as bad as everyone is making out. it just smelt of dust everywhere and the sky was red. most people were inside so it was okay. it's 5:15 P.M. now and it's pretty much clear now.

[Kyzora]

I thought that it was the apocalypse lol.

[ravia1988]

seriously? if it was the end of the world i'm sure conditions would have been much worse than a dust storm lol!

[Treemeadow]

I woke up this morning and was all "Wow!! Its like what killed the dinosaurs".

I then apologised to the blue-tongue resident in our garden for saying such an offensive thing.

[ajnode]

That motherfucking blue tongue lived with the dinosaurs and outlived them through advanced adaption methods. He woulda said "Fuck you" to the rest.

[Treemeadow]

Take a joke you bogan.

[ajnode]

Ironically, I was joking too, you take a fucking joke, fatass.

[Treemeadow]

lol

[skids101]

[DannyV1991]

[rfurto]

[elseachay06]

that's kinda scary, do these types of storms happen often in Sydney ?

[101Habbopranks]

lol not really but hits is from the north of aussie not the south east (I THINK I SAID I THINK)

[ravia1988]

no they don't hence the reason why everyone made a big deal out of it.

[elseachay06]

i was just asking a question and i got my answer already so i don't see why you answered or had to be a dick about it thnx

[DarkProto]

[DarkProto]
