We are scared witless of big storms like that at this time of year. Saturday last it was 42 degrees celcius here in Adelaide. ( Sorry ain't working out an imperial conversion at 2.30 am )

...And those big trees in the centre of the picture aren't just recovering from winter, they're "Gum Trees" - Eucalyptus and they don't loose their leaves unless they are extremely stressed or close to death from lack of water.

Then wicked it is ... lightening, especially the dry lightening with no rain, is a pretty scarey thing in these cases (along with human caused fires) I imagine everyone feeling a lot of anxiety. Wildfires scare me. Pretty hard to impossible to stop once they start and run and when lightening strikes start many in different places at the same time then it gets extremely scarey indeed. Every year in the hot and dry/droughty seasons seems we're watching the news about major runaway fires.

I only pray for rain for you folks ...
