Dust storm

HI everyone,
I was surfing the net with the window open when a HUGE dust storm flicks dust all in the room.
I jumped up closed the window and looked outside.
It was ORANGE!
The dust was soooo BAD that it looked orange (from the dust)
Lucky I wasn't outside when it came.
Did any one else see it?

Sounds good. It's absolutely howling here in Melbourne - I'm on the NW corner of an office building, and sounds like the window's about to cave in
