pedalguy59: I remember last summer Aus. had a string of plus 40 deg.
days, that would be awful if fire broke out.



Yes that was back in January, stifling!

Fortunately we don't get too many of those in this area and we tend to get coastal breezes which helps thumbs up

Fires down under again? Ouch. Hey, does anyone here remember Sir partycolor? I guess it was about two years ago, he commented on fires in Australia and talked about the smoke being really close to his house. blues

Yes, very smoky here right now, but it's mostly blowing in on the wind from miles away.

This is just the beginning I fear, summer isn't even here yet...

Yes, must say I did a mental stocktake of what I would round up if I received short notice thumbs up

It's the ones that linger, or worse refuse to leave, who most often get into trouble sad flower

I am in Qld about 1,000 kms north of Sydney and way out of danger of bushfires - this time.

It is scary to see as it is so early in the 'bushfire season'. We desperately need some good downpours of rain, been very dry for good couple of months at least.

Latest news on ABC (Australian) and incredible pics.

Stay safe everyone. Pray for those people who have lost their homes. sad flower

I've just relaxed enough to put my pjs on. Better not have to run now.

The smoke was horrendous earlier, yet you turned your head the other way and it was bright blue skies. Very surreal.
