Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. A beautiful blue sky started the day in Gold Coast, but there is dust everywhere. I'll take an extra time to clean the house this time, cant believe the dust could get through the shut doors and windows!
Love,
Yoriko.

I feel so sorry for you people out there, please protect yourself, and can you imagine all the dust in the houses. Hope it will be over soon. Love Marie

Sorry to hear about that dear Yoriko, please protect yourself too...machines could be replaced, but not you!!!! Because you are one of a kind...a great person. I live in Texas, we get lots of rain, tornados,etc.,but I love Houston and I am proud to call it home, one ot the problems here is the humidity, usually is between 80 to 100%...Hugs and blessings.

I saw that in our paper today. Hope all is well!

I just saw pictures here in California on the news today. Yuk. The air looks red. I hope that it gets better soon.

Don't get me wrong, my sympathy goes out to people who are not well and this dust storm can cause problems for, but when we lived out west this is a regular occurrance, dust storms would come and not a word is ever mentioned on TV! The coast gets one and all hellbreaks loose on the TV. The poor old country people forgotten as usual!

I hope that the air clears quickly and that you stay well... Barb

I pray that none of you will become sick from the dust and that your machines stay healthy, too.;)

Gosh Yoriko, this sounds terrrible, I hope it does not last too long. Do you know what exactly is causing it ? I am thinking of you all. Hugs and God bless.
Marietta

take good care!!

I hope things are getting better! Please be causeful and stay indoors as much as you can! Hugs, Laura *

We saw it in TV in Holland and it looks terrible, Please protect yourself and your lungs for all that dust and your machines of course.

Y U C K...we have had the gloomy misty rain here today....that would take it out of the air and drop it on EVERYTHING!!!

Yoriko, I could hardly believe it was here but for it to keep travelling into QLD is just incredible.

I have only been outside the house once today but I can taste the dust, my throat is sore and I can't stop sneezing. And to think I was worried about the spring pollens! LOL!!!!

Now all we need is some settling rain and we'll have red mud instead. hehehehe! :-)
hugs n roses, Meganne

Also thinking of you all, hope it goes away soon. Look after yourselves.

UGH! That sounds like a horrendous mess! I know how much trouble it is just having a dirt driveway. I can't imagine having tons of dust swirling around for hours or even days. I hoe you make it through without anything being ruined!

I will be praying for you & yours!

Just saw it on the news in NZ. Looks pretty grim, hope you are all ok and don't suffer from asthma. Best Wishes.

Thinking of you, it must be terrible.

This is in my orchard, usually we can see all the trees in the distant up the hill behind us...
I needed some top soil, but could have got it another way.....

Oh my goodness, this cannot be nice at all. Thinking of you all.

You have my sympathy Yoriko. When we lived out in the dry N.W.Qld for many years, dust storms were quite common. I recall thoroughly spring-cleaning the house just prior Christmas, then looking out the verandah louvres to see a dirty orange-kakhi sky rolling in towards the house. I immediately rushed and closed up all windows etc. but I may as well have saved my time... everything was about 2inches thick with dust, there's just no way to keep it out. I hope it clears again for you soon.

oh my goodness i can not watch it as just to look at it makes me sneez my asthma and allergies would go crazey thank goodness all i have to deal with is fall leaves and snow up to my butt (ha,ha,ha) comeing soon here good luck mary

I live in country area and is very much the same here, have all the house closed up...shocking eh?

Yes always something to contend with.....

Kerry, yes it is shocking! and it's getting worse...

Yoriko
This happens alot in west Texas . You can smell the dust in the air and even taste it. The sky sometimes turns almost orange. I hope you dont have allergies. Hopefully it wont last long.
Take care
Bev
