man all i an hear is helicopters and fire truckers and stuff. Man if it gets any closer i take my ps2 with me thats for shore.
 
Man, it's pretty bad here, guys. 36 deg celsius, high winds, and huge plumes of smoke to the north west and south west of the city. Traffic's bad too - power's playing up, and the M4's closed because of a grass fire. Glad I live where I do...

Mate of mine who was over here from the US for 3 years or so for work headed home in Feb, when the smoke and fires were really bad.

Needless to say, he arrived from the US TODAY for a quick visit...
 
UPDATE: Fire in wattle grove which is near my house has settled down a lot so could be out by tomorrow. Also the wind direction has changed towards the bush and not the homes.
 
Whoa, that's terrible - and to think I'm looking out my window at about an inch of snow!
 
I don't know why, but I was expecting a funny picture of Pres. Bush with his butt on fire or something. ;)

Sorry to see that... glad to hear its not going towards the homes anymore.
 
Hey, the fire was about 1 km from my house and it had massive plumes, but it was extuinguished last night and now there is one about 5 km away from my house but it is under control. Some of my friends who lived right near there evacuated so im filling them in.
