Those photos remind me of the NSW bushfires in Dec 2001. The sun looked like a dull red traffic light trying to shine through a hazy smokey sky.

Yes!  I remember talking to my cousin overseas who telling me she saw it on the news over there....I described how it looked from where I was, how my patio was covered in ash.

Hundreds of homes are feared destroyed and the NSW premier believes it will be a miracle if no lives are lost in the most grave bushfire crisis to hit the state in a decade.

While the extent of the devastation was unclear on Thursday night, one of the worst-hit areas was Springwood, in the Blue Mountains, where up to 30 homes were known to be lost......................................

stay safe, Purps 😞

Sadly they just confirmed a 63 year old man has died of a heart attack trying to defend his home.

Are all of our members from the area at risk ok?? 

I know we have a few that live in the Blue Mountains and other areas mentioned.... but not sure where... 

While we think about the tragedy of loss of life, injuries and possessions.....please spare a thought to what is happpening to the native wildlife and domestic farm animals out there.

yes true.

A lady at work her husband is responsible for turning the power off in emergency situations. He said they were herding some the livestock (goats)  into the club premises where they were sheltering.

ref. your comment: '.... The extremes of weather is unbelievable. Unfortunately we can not controll nature...'

I do not believe any of this is natural or Mother Nature at work.

I firmly believe that all this has been engineered.
