Yesterday, the already-dry and dusty Free State got hit with a massive dust storm in areas around Bloemfontein. Although these storms are not unheard of during the drier, windy months of August through to November – the last one was in November last year – it is now January and the lack of rain due to the El Nino’s effects has seen the area drier than ever before.

Check out some awesome pics of what went down. It’s like Mad Max IRL.
