Australian Wildfires
Jan 5th, 2020 at 8:34pm
 
Australia is currently fighting some of the worst wildfires in recent times, conditions don't appear to be getting much better and the loss of plant and animal life is tremendous.

Is this catastrophe in your countries news??

Yes, I have seen about it as well.  I was literally thinking about this earlier today.  Knowing that there are multiple forum members in Australia, I was going to start a post asking if anyone is near the areas that are on fire.

I regret I don't have much to offer other than the hope that this disaster comes to an end soon.  Please be safe to our fellow slingers and friends in Australia.

It's made it to Finland as well. Truly horrifying. Some of the video and pictures look like they came straight from Hell. Hard to wrap your head around that must destruction. I hope everyone stays safe.

I can't speak for every Australian on the forum.
I'm in the west so I'm not near the worst affected areas.
The east coast has had a bad decade with floods, fires and droughts. Must be heartbreaking and scary for some of the communities and I can only imagine the devostation these fires have caused to our natural environment .

Seems like One half could be consumed by fires, and the other half might get flooded by Cyclones...
