SYDNEY - Drought-ravaged parts of rural Australia have been hit by dust storms that threaten to drift over more heavily populated cities including Sydney, bringing a new element to the extreme weather that has dominated the country over summer.
“I’m just over it,” said Tanya Fulton, manager of the council swimming pool at Tottenham, a town of 300 people about 500 kms west of Sydney, which was closed on Saturday because of dust in the water. In Canberra, the national capital, cricket ball-sized hail stones smashed car windows on Monday. Residents posted videos on social media of themselves sledding through streets in t-shirts.
