Truly Beautiful, Yet Horrifying Sand Storm Over Sydney

The city of Sydney in Australia was blackened out by an incredible red/orange glowing sandstorm, creating a thick warm cloud over the city. Many citizens thought for a second that they were deported to planet Mars !
"I saw the time as 7:30 am, but from the window it looked as if an alien attack has happened and a poisonous gas deployed. Later, when i switched on TV, It was sand storm which covered SYDNEY in a red blanket of sand. The dust has flown from northern territory of Australia and travlled with a speed of 80-100kmph."
