Very similar. The El Nino (or la nina, can't remember which) effect
causes serious drought in Australia. The dust is being picked up by
storms from the interior (topsoil layer, just like the dust bowl) and
carrying it to the coast and/or out to sea.
There's a bunch of climate change folks doing a chicken little over
this, but it's a periodic thing, happens to this scale something like
every 20-30 years if I remember correctly.
