Bad
Quote:
Huge losses of homes and other buildings in several towns - there are reports of Marysville and nearby Strathewen being almost completely destroyed. Many people, reports say in excess of 40, have been killed. The worst of it happened after the wind changed direction.

Just listening to the 7AM news fourteen confirmed dead with fears of a toll into the 40s.
There are thunderstorms around - I can hear thunder now but they have little or no rain and potential fires with lightning strikes.

Victorian fires
The world is going mad, just watched our NZ news, what a horror for a number of states in OZ. Our sea water around the east has reached 23 degrees. At our place it was 14 degrees , drove 30 kms and it was 30 degrees. The Met Office is warning of very very high temps coming from Oz that will hit here today but only on the East we are in the West.
Our hearts go out to all of you in Oz that are facing this real threat. The photographs of burnt out cars containing people are heart wrenching. HOPE YOU ARE ALL SAFE ANZACS Rookie
