Rain doesn’t fall all over Australia right now. In the dry town of Nyngan, New South Wales, for example, a biblical dust storm changed the day into night on January 19, 2020. Here some amazing pictures and videos of the wall of dust sweeping across the desert and town.
In the above video, you gradually see the sky changing color, from blue, to orange-red, to dark.

The sky turns from day to night into less than five minutes. Pretty fast, isn’t it?
