Red Skies in Austrailia... have you seen this yet?

that is really scary bookreadermom, i saw it on TV, it was a like a storm from MArs or something. To be honest with you all, that is the first time that i ever saw a red star. I was also thinking as if we are on another planet or the atmosphere had changed some how. this is the view that i saw in you-tube later on.

dd they say what is was that made the skys red i had the news on and saw the undate but never saw the rest it would scare me very much

i'm a crab on this topic, it's been all over the news and i'm sick of it. i'm not having a a go at any one i'm just saying what i feel. cause if i wrote in to the weather channel it would be a really rude email. i'm from the part in southern new south wales that is still drought strickened. back i april we had our worst dust storm i can remember, it was just as bad as what they've had up north, but no one care about us down here. we had high ways closed and you couldn't see 20m away from you, there was dust everywhere. i had it a inch thick in my tack shed that included my rugs that were up high and had trouble hearing a heart beat of a foal, the wind was that bad. the mare was not her usual self and she lost the foal a few weeks later. we just watched the paddock disapear, what was left of it. we've been watching our paddock go for a few yrs, dust storms happen every week when the wind the blows hard enough. thou for once we were to missed it, we got rain long last. so my thing is city people have no concept of what happens out in the country and that really is annoying. you will get dust storms all over the world, just depend on where you are. but when a fair bit of australia is drought and dirt for paddocks that where it all comes from.

hi bookreadermom hi again Just once I saw red skies in'New Mexico with a dust storm just clogging the air with red dust. we never see that in California. But we see red tide when the algae , red algae, clog up the tide and turn it red, it sometimes kills fish too.

I don't know what I would think if I woke up to red skies. I imagine it would be really weird. I was always taught not to panic but this might be a different situation. My preacher and his wife are doing some world traveling and they are in Australia right now. I wonder if they are in this dust storm. The last time we heard from them, they wre doing good, though. I wonder if it was in a certain part of Australia. Kathy.
