"A STORM of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS"

An extravagant display of dust was swirling around my surrounding and the sky was shrouded with unfathomable Biblical plague that greeted me late this morning. My daughter, Noemi, woke me up with a phone call urging me to watch the news on the TV for what is happening today. So I logged on to my computer and Channel Nine News has superfluous supply of the fresh event that hit the city and some areas of New South Wales.

I even thought that a RED PLANET from nowhere has landed or the Sahara Desert came down under for a quick visit and swept the country with its freezing blow of dusty winds blowing faster than a jet plane to cause havoc. I took some pictures from the thick haze until the sky cleared up. It's now past 3pm as am still typing away this blog. The pictures I took will be published in Australia: Quadrat in Focus blog.

Well,this is my first time to experience Dust Storm after surviving a horrible Summer Hell fire in 2002, the year we came down to live in the city from Orange. Then in December 2007, I also experienced hail stones storm thundering like canon balls as big as tennis balls that rocked neighbouring suburbs causing terrible damages to housing properties.

My daughter Lily described this plague as "TIS A STORM OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS!" And when asked what it's like in Orange, she said, 'in lament's term, "it is covered in mud"'. There are few cars in the courtyard where I live, and the rooftops are incredibly covered with thick dust powder.

Mother Nature has unleashed her fury. Wake up Guys, who doesn't believe in Climate Change and who causes it and why?

You can remain skeptics for all I care. But I already have an idea what this warning is all about.
