Yeah, I saw that on the news tonight and immediately thought about our friends from Australia. It was identified as being around Sydney and looked bad, but then our media hardly ever gets anything right, initially. You guys let us hear from you.

Amen to that! We get some doozies here in Florida around March/April/May,and they get some realhouse-eaters Along the Left Coast. But from the news reports, they pale in comparison to the Australian fires!

Re: FIRE DOWN BELOW!!!!!

The situation in Sydney does look quite serious. My Sydney-based friends tell me they've been suffering from water shortages and dry weather for quite a while before this happened. The city is currently enveloped by bush fires. <br /><br />Best source of news about this is The Sydney Morning Herald <br /><br />As is sadly often the case, at least one of the fires was started intentionally;<br /><br /> http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/12/06/1038950196291.html <br /><br />I hope none of our Australian iboats members are too badly affected.
