MELBOURNE. Thursday. – Gales, widespread dust storms and a temperature drop from 90.9 degrees to 71 degrees in 15 minutes followed the arrival of a cool change experienced in Victoria over the last 24 hours.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
A thick pall spread over Melbourne and the sun shone with a strange blue light as the dust haze reached its maximum.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The change is expected to spread rapidly over all States. One gust of wind reached a velocity of 51 miles per hour at the weather bureau.<\/div>\n
Many other gusts exceeded 40 miles per hour.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Many country residents reported a great deal of dust.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The thick brown haze spread over hundreds of square miles of Mallee and other parts of the State. At Boort, dust threatened to blackout the township where the visibility at times was 30<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
to 40 yards.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Telephonic communication was affected by a heavy dust layer in the atmosphere round Ouyen where static and short circuits were prevalent.<\/div>\n
Parching winds withered young grass in many parts of the Mallee, Wimmera and northern central districts and it is feared that this growth will be lost, throwing conditions back to the worst drought period.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
