Great news Moz.
I keep all my gear wrapped in sheets then covered by tarps so I had minimal dustage too. Wish I could say the same for the house. Even with all the windows and doors kept shut that day there's still a fine coating over everything.
Looks like there's more on the way too.

Yeah, I checked in my POD the other night after the dust storm and I was very impressed. I expected there would be dust on everything, but there wasn't.

Glad you're feeling better, Peter.
