You can just see Bruce Spence flying the plane with the kids and Master to Tomorrow Tomorrow Land.

@hu_hu_cool: Air-filter -cloggish, could still be used temporarily (after being tapped "clear") would need to be replaced soon probably (depending on how long the vehicle was operated *in* the dust storm.

Paint - In a *dust* storm it would probably be fine, after washing it might need a quick polish and a fresh coat of wax. In a *sand* storm, could be pretty badly damaged. This was a dust storm not a sand storm.

@-Core-: Makes perfect sense to me...

Ahh.... THIS must be why Oklahoma has signs stating "Do not drive into smoke".

I always wondered who would need such a sign.

jfwaterburry

That was fucking awesome!!! I mean seriously... So cool. *Says with a big grin on his face*

I just thought of Dune for some reason....

-Core-

Well, what did you expect? Those crazy fuckers are driving on the wrong side of the road too!

And Mummy 3 comes out in like a week, so don't tell me this is some sort of coincidence.

love how they're playing techno music in the car, FTW.

It's almost like from the mummy, cept Branden Frazer ain't there.

Oh yes, oh yes, I love the big dust storms we get in Arizona. A few hundred meters high, miles long, just rolling across the state.
I was living in Casa Grande at one point (in between Tucson and Phoenix for those who don't know the Arizona boonies) and we saw a storm coming from our house. We didn't have time to do anything - so all the lawn furniture ended up against the fence or in the pool, which had probably half an inch of dirt in the bottom after all was said and done.
Really reminds you that we don't control the planet as much as we'd like to think.
And hell yes they're scary, and not in a good way like our monsoons. Mostly because you can usually breathe, and see, in monsoon storms. Not so much in the dust storms.

Has no one learned from the Mist...
"We only have four bullets."

@hu_hu_cool: Which means nothing when you're driving a Jeep/Range Rover/Land Rover. Anyone deserving of those SUV's knows they'll be getting dirty and probably pretty beat.
"You're going straight through that mud pit..."
"It's a Jeep."

They crashed into a furry Ayers Rock.

Another reason to stay away from the penal colony.

Noobs-R-Us

Damn, I love the accent of Aussie women . . .

In all seriousness, I've seen that here in AZ as well, and these people are crazy to keep driving through that, especially keeping their speed up. Whenever we get dust storms here, depending on the visibility you slow down or even pull of the side and wait for it to pass. You get a lot of accidents on the freeways when one of these blows through from people who just keep on driving through it and can't see what's 10 feet in front of them.

AZTriGuy

Would have liked to see some video of the car on the other side - sand blasted paint job?

EBone

I drove through something like this when I was in Arizona. It was a lot earlier in the morning so it wasn't as bright out, but in the cloud it was extremely dark and you could see little formations if you stared hard enough. Quite creepy indeed.

nachobel

Did they live?

itchytooth

Maybe it was a rental car....

dirigoDIGITAL

@mthrndr: lol worst film i've ever seen

ollie_ho

If they go far enough in, maybe they'll be inundated by giant, crappy-cgi insects and cthulhu-esque tentacle creatures. Then the driver can murder everybody right before it clears up.

(Did I mention I hate The Mist?)

mthrndr

Looks like they used the atomics on the shield wall!

Let's all sing "We're on the way to Hamunaptra!"

(Amazing...I need to by a camcorder...among other things)

SigmundTheSeaMonster

What good are canned burgers without the canned bacon?

And yea...you won't find me driving into that...looks like the effects of the cannon of ID4...

Chromeo is typing this on his iPhone 3G

Breathing that in through your Air Conditioner Intake can be too good....honestly wtf??? I start coughing when i drive behind someone with a bad muffler and the smoke goes in my AC, cant imagine wth breathing that in is like.

kcm117

That does look like Ayers Rock. I love the woman he wants to turn around she wants to go through it.

mrsalty

Nature's signs are easy to read, if you look carefully.

This one says "do not enter."

Cisco-Kid

Yeek! I pooped my pants a little when it all went black!

BongoFury

who the hell says "holy shoot"?

Listen, if there is ever a reason to fucking curse its when youre about to drive into an apocalyptic yellow cloud of death...

nystreetfilms

Not as dangerous as a tornado indeed!

My Oklahoma roots scoff at this Australian dust-up.
(Note the little car driving out of the storm pulling a trailer. Little cars do not drive out of our storms.)

92BuickLeSabre

Techno?!

waveman216

Would the car not be completely fecked for driving through a dust storm. The filter would be complete choked with sand and the paint job would be ruined.

hu_hu_cool

@faabshaam: Don't piss off the Mummy!

strider_mt2k

So what's the weather like?

It's ORANGE. Orange with a chance of gray.

Is it bad?

It's F*CKING ORANGE! Everywhere is orange!

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

@strider_mt2k: blah. Buffalo snow storms have nothing on the lake effect storms in Milwaukee.

faabshaam

Doesn't the cloud look like a face on the left half of the shot at 1:00?

faabshaam

Wow... what a strange and wonderful place our world is. Australia never really seemed all that interesting to me. Now I want to go there just to check out the dust storms.

DisposableInterloper

Leave it to an Aussie to Run to a storm instead of away!

Crikey - look at the size of this monsta! Let's see if I can pick it up and make it mad.

RG_Shrike

I love how it goes from daylight to complete darkness as soon as they drive under that initial overhang of the storm. That's pretty eerie.

DashTheHand

If you live where folks drive on the right side of the road you can run that in reverse and pretend they're shooting out the back window while escaping the storm.
If...if you want.

Looks like all they might really need is a new air filter for the car.

The closest thing I've experienced to that was in upstate New York near Buffalo where I drove in and out of huge banks of lake-effect snow storms.

Absolutely clean on either side, but near zero visibility within.

strider_mt2k

Why are they driving into it?! RUN, INMATES, RUN!

Dracoster

I sure hope they have a K&N filter for that!!!!

gizmodohomepage

looks so surreal when it turns completly dark

Rexter

@DashTheHand: I was amazed at how i had to strain my eyes to see more light and then i thought that their head lights couldn't be seen but instead the light from outside was gone that fast.
@RG_Shrike: That was hilarious. They're crazy though man. I would like to see what would happen if they shot one round into the dust storm. How cool that'd be to see the dust just open up and then follow the bullet. The bullet would probably stop a couple yards early though because of the density of that dust storm.
@DisposableInterloper: In all seriousness i thought mann thats beautiful and i thought those lunatics were going to turn around right before going in.

SneakerFiend

@itchytooth: No. Their souls uploaded the video.

broho

very cool

zed0

c'mon, the mist was awesome.

mrrobotanger

typical ride thru north dakota, done it on a motorcycle a few different times

Seen them, lived in them and drove through them living in west Texas.

Are we there yet?
No
Are we there yet?
No!
Are we there yet?
YES...oh shit

Wow that is pretty creepy.

@faabshaam:

Milwaukee Annual Snowfall: 47 inches
Buffalo Annual Snowfall: 93 inches.

Buffalo FTW.

ppiddy

@strider_mt2k: They pissed Imhotep off with that techno music, apparently!

Mr.Wilson

Contrary to popular aussie folklore, leprechauns do not live in massive dust storms.

Priest

Oh man - I would love to drive into one of those... if I knew that there wasn't a chance of crashing into anything - like a stopped car...
