You are safe down there?
I mean not on the bloody floors, but in that hell hole.
Had some family member evacuees a few weeks back. Their place ended up safe but some houses were lost a few kilometers away. And they nearly had to evacuate again a few days ago when there was another bushfire.
Everywhere is getting hit. I was flying to another city a few weeks back and the entire coast is on fire for 800 km. Literally looking down on non-stop fire and smoke the entire flight. The Gospers Mountain has been burning for two months now and has burnt half a million hectares in that time. And that’s only one fire.
Where we live we are safe. If we burn, then Australia has got much bigger problems than just us.
The fire fighters have worked miracles but they can’t keep up this pace. There are now dozens of them injured and they have been going flat out for a couple months now. And there are still months to go. And they are all volunteers, most aren’t getting paid.
But I hear California is bad too. So it’s not just us.
