Red Dust Storm In Sydney

A red dust storm has engulfed Sydney causing widespread disruption across the city and down Australia's east coast.
The storm saw international flights being diverted, traffic chaos and a sharp rise in people suffering breathing difficulties.
The dust cloud is believed to have been just under 400 miles long and travelled close to 1,000 miles down Australia's east coast. Dust settled in both Brisbane and Sydney and experts believe it could still travel across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand.
Dust storms are common in Australia but nothing has been seen on this scale for decades. The cloud originated in Australia's desert centre, where a long drought has caused a build-up of dust.
Most of the dust is expected to blow out to sea, but the city will still have a haze for 24 hours followed by a very long clean-up.
