1902: The Great Dust-Up in Australia reached its climax. The dust storm caused visibility to be reduced to less than 70 feet and darkened the sky even during the daytime. In some towns, "balls of fire" were reported during the dust storm. A possible explanation is that fast-moving blowing dust particles generated static electricity which ignited organic matter carried along with the dust.
