[AusNOG] [off-topic] Sydney dust storms

[Curtis Bayne]

Brisbane here.

We fared pretty well (no issues) and it looks like things are clearing now, but the air filters are chockablock and I now regret buying a black car.

We weren't impacted in any way (other than a few dirty cars), but I'd be interested to hear how the CBD-based DCs fared.

Regards,

Chris

Don't worry it's here in Brisbane.

But appears no where near as bad as Sydney looking at some photos.

Has it affected any DCs yet?

I know some dust storms can play havoc with smoke detection systems.
