Fires are the worst, because of the heat, the speed and movement. I mean a fire can be kilometers away, but the burning embers of tree's can fly in the breeze, land in grass and make it catch fire, or land on a roof and create a spot fire. So the risk is real.
If you stay to fight it, you must be prepared for it all. If you do not want to fight, you leave with what you can take. It's one of those choices, do you go or stay, or do you send your family away and stay yourself. Tough. I know people who have done both

I feel lucky that I live in such a rainful town as my own. Sure we've had our shares of fires, in the past year it's burned just a few blocks from me in every direction, but I've barely noticed it and it's only been one to two buildings per fire. Summers here don't get much warmer than maybe 30oC at the most, and, like I said before it rains a lot, so there's little chance for a dry spell producing those kinds of fires.
And whatever flooding we've had have not been in any endangering way, more like just annoyances, really.
I feel for you guys who live in or near those areas... My friend on MSN apparently lives right in the middle of VictoriaLast edited by misskitten; 10 February 2009, 04:27 AM.

I live in North Queensland, we have had so much rain and flooding and power outages. It has rained non stop for over 4 weeks here and hubby has been of work. Hopefully he will go back soon *fingers crossed* he is driving me up the wall.
I should not complain all those people in Victoria losing their house and so many losing their lives. It is so terrible. South Australia has had really bad heat waves, temp up to 45oC (113oF) and some died from that. It has been a very bad summer here. I feel so bad for all those people. There was a boy taken by a croc up north a bit from me. I live in a place called Townsville.
Hugs to all. Love you all. Thanks for being concerned.
I like living here - sorta, it is a desert after all and I grew up in a rainforest - but aside from the h#llish heat in the summer, about what MrsC and BB have now, there's not too much to complain about. And I can go swimming in the lake just a kilometer from here!sigpic
