You’re not kidding. Even out here - four hours west of Sydney - I’ve spent the last two days trying to get red dust off surfaces, out of curtains etc. It was freaky. I was driving to work and it started to rain red mud. Now its set like concrete on the car.

Is from oz #3, thanks for the explanation of the cause of the phenomenon—and good luck getting rid of the dust & mud!

Make it brown instead of red, and make it thick enough to only see about 10 feet ahead of you, then you will be in Iraq in the Spring or Summer.  We would get these dust “storms” about every other week for about two days at a time, but it would just hang in the air like fog.  Bleah!  This is why cowboys wear bandannas.

Every once in awhile, here in North Texas, we get a dust storm blowing in from West TX, but nothing like this!
