When a sandstorm strikes, your friends have to protect themselves.
I don`t know if you`ll find out. Last Sunday afternoon, huge sandstorms hit the Midwest of New State, and Tottenham, Tullamore, Dubbo and Parkes all fell! The scene of the day is like the end of the world!
The Met Office also reportedly issued a severe thunderstorm warning of damaging winds, heavy rain and hail in those areas at around 6.20pm on Sunday, alerting attention to the impending catastrophic weather.
The huge dust storm is believed to have first hit the town of Narromine and then arrived at Dubbo and Parkes, passing through the sensation of a haze exploding...
By 7:45 p.m., the sandstorms weren`t weakening at all, with Dubbo having winds of up to 107km/h. According to photos and videos on social media, a "sand wall" several times higher than the house approached Dubbo at around 8 p.m. last night.
But within an hour of the storm`s arrival, there was some relief from the rain, which was 2.2 millimetres at Dubbo airport.
Damien Garro, the administrator of Parkes`Station Motel, said the orange "sand wall" appeared as if it were the end of the day before the dust storm swept through the area. ..
"It was dark, like 3 a.m. We have a guest checking in, all over the mud and dust, and we can`t even see the mobile signal tower opposite. "This is the second time this week that a sandstorm has hit the Midwest of the new state. Last Thursday, a huge red sand wall poured into Forbes, and months of unusually dry weather left the land dry, making it easier for dust winds to roll into the air.
Jordan Notara, a forecaster for the Bureau of Meteorology, said strong winds lifted dry topsoil in the dry area and "swallowed" the dust and formed thunderstorms. "At present, drought is the main cause of the sandstorms. Once the surface soil lacks moisture, it is easier to separate, and the wind will drag dust into the air. "
Notara also said Parkes recorded 14.4 millimetres of rain, but similar sandstorms could continue without more.
"Before large and plentiful rainfall inland, similar sandstorms may occur. "
Severe dust storms can cause us to be healthy. Reduced visibility can also increase traffic accidents, and inhalation of dust can cause or aggravate breathing difficulties. Therefore small editor reminds everybody, if has the dust storm to attack in the future, the small partner may do well the protection, pays attention to own health and the travel safety!
