It was truly EPIC, never seen anything like it. I was in Brisbane at the time, i saw it coming as i was 25 stories up, and it came quick! Still getting dirt out of my nose lol.

Yes, dust storms can be evil on air filter(s). Oklahoma gets one maybe once a year. But nothing like what the Aussies' just got.
