Australia Not Good

[GSXKING]

I heard them refer to it as a MEGAFIRE today on the radio WTF 

[Notty]

BBC News carried the story that many fires caused by ARSONISTS  WTF ?

[KiwiCol]

Yeah, we had a story similar the other day too, Aussie police had arrested several teen for setting fires.

I think WE (Canada) have about 29 Fire Management and Fighters in Oz right now - Its been raining here in Vancouver for about 3 weeks - trying to figure out how send some of it to you guys!!! Stay safe!

Please send Global, our only answer. Thanks for your firefighters. Ive lived in same place 27 yrs, garden been there most of that time. Today i noticed dying plants that have never been anywhere near that stressed before.

Hope you get some help from mother nature soon Grog.
Firefighters share a common bond no matter where they come from. Hats off to them.

  I share these sentiments, it's difficult to know what to say when something so monumental is happening to you guys in Oz.

Good luck with the rain, when it comes. It's unbelievable to think that it's almost a ring of fire around your country. Thoughts with you and yours.

I heard on the UK lunchtime news today that Australia recorded its hottest ever daytime temperature ever. That really is not good news.

Fake News....... what did they say the temp was? The highest "average" temperature, yes: 40.9C in Dec 2019 it bet 40.3 in Dec 2013.

The highest maximum temperature was recorded as 50.7 °C (123.3 °F) at Oodnadatta on 2 January 1960,  bloody climate change came earlier than expected.

When I was working at Bourke, 15 years ago, it was 49C in the shade, >56C out where the poor souls were picking grapes. Meanwhile  in the pool in the motel was the best place to be.

Not highest peak temp but highest average over the whole of AUS since the last record in the 60s I believe

Sorry I meant highest average daytime temp - which apparently is expected to be exceeded again this week

Crazy.

[grog]

Just in case anyone has missed our fire updates. After so many weeks, now getting worse. Seems like a life gets lost every day. Too hard to describe the damage.Smoke now in NZ, who wouldve thought it could travel that far. Bad times.

[gsxbarmy]

Seen it on the news @grog people fleeing to the beaches to escape the fire, firefighters getting cut off, roads shut, towns cut off - over 100 fires burning.

Truly terrible, the loss of life and environment, seems the whole of SE Australia is on fire from Sydney up to Brisbane, terrible times. When or how it will ever end - no idea.

Have to take my hat off to the firefighters though, brave lads

[Globalrider]

WE are sending you more help!
