The vast dust clouds driven by violent storms that turned the skies of New South Wales and Queensland red. Weather forecasters are predicting another storm front for tomorrow, and warn that an emerging El Nino and land dehydrated by a decade of drought could produce a series of storms ripping topsoil from Australia's fragile interior. There have already been three large dust storms in the past three weeks in the region around South Australia's vast Lake Eyre - where much of yesterday's dust was generated - and last week clouds of granulated red earth were blown to New Zealand. The Bureau of Meteorology said this was one of the worst since the 1940s, when dust storms cloaked much of the continent's southeast and forced Adelaide to use street lighting in the middle of the day. NSW Environment Department measurements of particle pollution were 10 times the worst on record, at 4,164.
