Bushfire season always sucks, it's a horrible start to the new year. Tasmania has been hit bad already, with thousands of people evacuating their homes and towns in order to save their lives, and now NSW is feeling the heat wave as well. Temperatures of 40+ degrees C (100+ F) caused the fire danger to reach the level 'Catastrophic', the worst possible danger level.
Just thought you guys should know. Discuss bushfires.

For you Americans, here in Australia we're having the equal of what would be an extreme tornado outbreak with multiple EF5s, except instead of tornadoes it's bushfires. [/quote] Yikes.
