Red Dawn over Sydney

Sydney, NSW (Australia) - Awoke to a crazy red dawn sky, due to severe weather blowing in huge dust storms from drought stricken western NSW. Farmers who are already struggling would have lost a lot of top soil. Here is a picture I took about 5:45am this morning.



An eerie sight,
with a strange
"glow".











A user on youtube uploaded this video, from a place in far Western NSW, called Broken Hill. The sky literally turns black.

Wow, that is quite an eerie picture.
We did see videos of it up here in Canada but I still can't imagine what it must have looked like in person.

It was a really strange site, my husband woke me up early to see it and I couldn't believe my eyes! The colour and glow was really just like it is in the picture.
