On the 23rd of September, 2009 a massive dust storm carried by severe winds from the North West engulfed most of the East Coast of Australia, limiting visibility, diverting all flights and causing a thick reddish haze. This Footage was filmed just after 6AM on the morning of 23/09/2009 in Sydney, the comparative shots were taken later that day when the storm had travelled North and left a thin layer of red dust in the streets and on cars. It had a faint chalky smell and caused slight irritation to the eyes and lungs, it was proceeded by a windy night with brilliantly clear skies.
