Residents warned of damaging wind as dust storm hits Victoria
Residents of north-west Victoria are dealing with a huge dust storm that began in South Australia, with coastal and central Victoria also being warned to brace for dangerous weather. Photos taken in Mildura depict a wave of orange engulfing the inland city. The weather bureau reported wind gusts of 70km/h in western Victoria on Monday afternoon. The State Control Centre first warned residents of the Mallee to expect dust storms from South Australia about midday. Images of the dust storm blanketing parts of South Australia were posted online on Monday. A video posted from the town of Orroroo by South Australian media personality Andrew 'Cosi' Costello shows a thick orange haze reducing visibility to less than a few hundred metres. 'Bloody hell,' wrote Costello in this video posted to Facebook. In Victoria, the State Emergency Service told residents to close doors and windows and remain indoors when the storm arrived. In South Australia, police warned drivers to exercise extreme caution because the roads were unsafe.
