Thank you kindly, Berit. It's nearly 5 p.m. here and we have blue sky at last. Started clearing mid-afternoon. It seems to have blown over. It's still very windy. Everything's covered in orange dust. I now have an orange car!  :o

Kerry:

Oops, looks like I spoke too soon. Just checked the local paper online and they're predicting it could last 3 days!!!  :o

Maybe there's a second wave on the way!  :(

Glad to hear you're ok Kerry. Hope you don't have far to go when you go to work, to the supermarket, etc...
Thinking of you.

Kerry, you should scoop up a little bit of that dust/sand and put it in a jar. It will make an interesting conversation piece years from now. It certainly isn't fun right now, but people will remember this event for a very long time. Saving the dust in a jar would be a bit like preserving a piece of history. :)

Kelda:
posting so I can find this later so I can view the photos (can't see these at work).

the news report photos do look very earie. (sp??) but I do love the photo of the little girl(?) jumping into the air!


And good idea David.. do a few.. somebody not in Oz will buy it on ebay!

Did you ever set up that ebay shop btw? For your paintings?
