mini-muffin Posted February 7, 2011 #1 Posted February 7, 2011 I read they are having wildfires north and southeast of Perth. Any of that south east fire near you? Hope not. Maybe they should dig a trench from the wet part of the country to the dry part. I know but it was just a thought. Hope you're ok. Margaret
Aussie Annie Posted February 7, 2011 #2 Posted February 7, 2011 We are okay...thanks for caring. Fire storm came up and the swirling winds took out houses so quick!! My sister was close to the one in Ferndale, but okay now. How much more is Mother Nature gonna throw at Australia
mini-muffin Posted February 7, 2011 Author #3 Posted February 7, 2011 Glad to hear you and your sister are ok. Wasn't it just last week that storm hit the eastern part where all the flooding had been? Then we've had cold and snow pretty much everywhere. Doesn't seem to be many places that have been missed by weird weather. Margaret
Aussie Annie Posted February 7, 2011 #4 Posted February 7, 2011 Maybe the planet is trying to tell us something??
Dano Posted February 7, 2011 #5 Posted February 7, 2011 La Nina (cooling of the surface of the Pacific Ocean) is kicking everybody's but this year.
OldBear Posted February 7, 2011 #6 Posted February 7, 2011 Oz has sure had its share this year, that's for sure. Stay Safe!!
Aussie Annie Posted February 9, 2011 #7 Posted February 9, 2011 Geez, just found out a friend of our's was caught in the fires. Had time to get her new Moto Guzzi out, and husband drove the car out [couldn't get his bike] Then they waited two days before they were allowed back in--not knowing if they had lost everything!! And when they went back...only house still standing in the street was their's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mini-muffin Posted February 9, 2011 Author #8 Posted February 9, 2011 Wow that's pretty amazing. Guess they aren't sure how grateful they should feel while others have lost their homes. Gotta be a conflict of emotions. Margaret
Aussie Annie Posted February 9, 2011 #9 Posted February 9, 2011 Mini. They are also reporting that the fire was started when an off-duty LEO was using an angle grinder at home..............how crappy do ya think he feels!
mini-muffin Posted February 9, 2011 Author #10 Posted February 9, 2011 Guess on the up side at least it was an accident and not some nut case doing it on purpose. It's easier I think forgiving someone for a mistake then a thing like that done on purpose. Margaret
