    dust storm of onslow western australia

    By cooperville  |  Posted January 9, 2013  |  Australia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Seafarer cooperville was sailing through the Mangrove Passage north of Onslow in western Australia when he captured these stunning images of a dust storm bearing down on his ship. "I was on the main deck of the ship I work on and could see the dust moving," he said. "Once the storm hit our wind speed meter went from five knots to 52 in seconds and everything went very dark as the dust hid the sun." He said there was no damage to his ship and no crew were injured, but all were on duty in case of any problems. The distinctive red tinge to the storm comes from Western Australia's noted red sand.
    - sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer

    while waiting for a cyclone to reach our area this dust storm appeared along the coast and it headed straight for us with winds up 120km/hour lightning and rain came with it
