Oh god, the news is awful. The heat there just hasn't died down and Victoria is ablaze. It's horrifying. Oh my Aussie friends, I hope you stay safe and cool!

The weather in NSW has cooled down, but we still have bushfires. The air is so smoky, it's crazy. We're ok here though. :)

Phew. My mother just called. Locusts. Nonstop 40+ temps. Flooding in Queensland.

IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!

I was just reading that--it's terrifying and tragic. Do they not have the kind of fire preparedness that we have in California there? Or are conditions just much worse?

This particular fire moved so quickly and then changed direction. It was a gigantic fireball. But it also more dry and hotter there currently than it has been in California. Coastal, humid areas that usually don't get hotter than maybe 90 for a day have been around 110 for days, and it hasn't rained in ages. Except in Queensland where 62% of the state is under water.

It doesn't help that there are reports of suspected arsonists lighting and relighting some of the fires.

It is so horrible. I saw all the pictures on the news and my heart just goes out to those victims and their families!
