Things don't look good on the morning news.

NSW - My brother is a Coonabarabran and the fire there seems to be getting worse and the weather prediction is not good. Not the only fire in NSW either

VIC - Also the Gippsland area looks to be in danger now!! Houses already lost.

SA - Fires in this state as well.

I was updated this morning... a lot of people have been relocated to churches over night. This will get worse, the wind down here is dreadful.

I have offered a family the use of my home. Living in Australia makes life interesting...

Thank you, Obscuritan.

I was driving home from Warragul last night and there were a convoy of fire trucks from different districts making their way to the fires. I would guess about ten in the convoy. I admire how Australians work together in moments like this.

This is terrible all these fires are there fire bugs causing some of these because there are so many all over the states of Australia like maybe too many all at around the same time ? dunno

My thoughts go out to all those families who have lost their homes sad flower and hope your family are safe and well bushy hug comfort

Sorry that you had to experience that. I have had to deal with those fires again today... there was one closer to home that caused me some issues on a professional level.

I guess what I should be saying is... thanks for taking some of our smoke, I am over seeing it. smile
