An epic dust storm temporarily turned day into night as it swept through a small town in north-western Victoria, Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Wednesday .
The impressive storm was captured on a Bureau of Meteorology webcam as it passed over Mildura Airport at about 5pm local time on Tuesday. Visibility deteriorated as a huge red cloud appeared and rolled over the airport. It was fuelled by strong winds in a gust front, in a weather phenomenon normally seen in summer, the ABC said."As I was driving through Red Cliffs I could see the sky changing a different colour and it was very windy," Ms Guarnaccia told the ABC.
The sky went dark and visibility plunged to just a few hundred metres."It was very apocalyptic and very scary - the darkness and the wind," she added.BOM senior forecaster Dean Stewart told the ABC such events were unusual this time of year. "Dust storms are a lot more common during our summer months but of course it's been very dry," Mr Stewart said.Dust storms are a cyclical phenomenon which occur when hot, dry wind, usually above 30kmh, picks up dust and carries it from west to east as a cold front moves through, 9news said.
