Rarely has the phrase “clear the air” had more meaning than the sand storms that Sydney experienced on September 23, 2009.

We were in Los Angeles at the time and couldn’t quite believe the images of such freak weather we were seeing on the internet and television. The second storm on Saturday 26th turned out to be far less frightening.

These images are somewhat apocalyptic.
