Been telling friends that have outside rain water tanks for supplimentary water to turn the roof downpipes away form the tanks or block the tank inlets off. When we finally get some rain it's going to wash masses of red dirt off the roof and fill the tanks up with red mud. That is if we ever get some rain again !

i bet it's causing problems we can't even imagine, for the residents there.
it is cool lookin though.

Wow that is something else. Awhile back here in west Texas we had combination rain and dust storm. it rained mud.

....I was outside mucking about with a tractor towing cars around, at first it looked like smoke ,but we couldnt smell fire, so we relaxed back into being busy until it got too dark at 3pm to keep goin .
next morning i could hardly breathe and took about 6 days to get my breathing back, same for my mate.
the moral of our story is
get to cover and sand bag your doors
cause this stuff is as fine as talc and can kill:isadizzy:
