Your eyes are not deceiving you! If you don't believe us, head to Twitter and see the hundreds of people talking about it!
People in Sydeny, Austraila woke this morning to see a deep reddish haze unlike anything they have ever seen before. And weather experts are amazed as well!
But how can this be?!
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Jane Golding says that the color comes from an exorbitant amount of dust that has collected in the area, saying:
"The reason for the dust is we had some really strong winds in the inland areas of NSW and in South Australia for a sustained period yesterday. That's lifted a whole lot of dust off the ground because it's quite dry out there, many of those areas are still drought affected…I've not seen anything like this before."
She also pointed out that the reddish haze is expected to fade as the sun gets higher in the sky, changing from 'a crimson red to orange by about 7am.'
A severe weather warning has gone out across the city, as the dust has made visibility terrible and the winds carrying this reddish dust are as high as 60km/h and expected to get worse!!!
This is just crazy! It looks like the 'end of days' over there!!!
