I was going to post last week about how ridiculously hot it had been here - 3 x 45C days in a row; I thought it a little too off topic, so didn't.
Then we had another 44-45C day with a hot wind, and some unspeakably depraved specimens decided to light fires.
We are presently up to 135 perished, about 1,000 homes gone, and probably something approaching 1,000,000 acres burned, and whole regions are still innaccesible - so more will be found, sadly. Whole towns - and their inhabitants - have been turned to ash.
We live in a bushfire prone part of the world, but this is the worst of all.
This is completely off topic, I know, but please spare a thought or a prayer.
Thanks,
RG
