Sydney has been hit by a dust storm the likes of which it has not seen in decades. Thunderstorms from the Indian and

Southern Oceans have gathered dust and debris from southern and eastern Australia at up to 100 kilometres per hour on their way to Sydney, according to Reuters. Other impressive dust storms date to a 1983 El Niño year, when droughts made topsoil vulnerable.
