The video recorded by Tim Lawson shows that the vision is almost blocked by thick dust in the air. The storm accompanied by quite strong winds. According to AU News, the size of the giant dust cloud stretches to more than 500km and is visible from Victoria.

Dust storms are expected to continue to move east and may last until the end of the week. A public health warning was made when the storm entered Sydney and Canberra today. Local authorities must recommend that people restrict their access to the outdoors at this time, especially those with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
