Hey all,
We're OK thanks Mark. Nice of you to ask. The closest fires to us are 40 mins away. 130 people confirmed dead thus far, and the authorities are still checking homes in the affected areas. It's doubly frightening because the fires we're deliberately lit, and lit in suburban areas. Our temps were rediculously high with no humidity...animals dying.
Temp peaked at 47.8C (119F).
Sadly, in the far north of the country wet season rains have flooded vast areas and people are stranded. They're relying on helicopter drops of food, etc. Lots of dead livestock, and now salt water crocodiles are on the scene.
So, drought/fire relief progams in the south and flood/dengue fever relief in the north.
Good to see you all still on deck here. I hope you're OK Mr Chill.
Don't downsize too soon Tina. You can bring the spare tanks to my place when you all come to stay.
Cheers Greg.
