    Another mass evacuation taking place before Saturday. 3 Naval ships, helicopters, water tankers and fuel tankers are heading down to aid in the evacuation of the south coast. Shit is about to get bad again.

    State of disaster declared in Victoria. Compulsory evacuations.
    I can smell the smoke today and it is hazy outside.

    The smoke was terrible today in Melbourne.
    I was inside Bunnings and the whole warehouse was smoked up.

    Happy to hear some of our California Fire fighters are heading to Australia to help out.  Cal Fire is also prepping to send in some help.  May as well- things are pretty calm here this time of year.  Hope it helps!

    The smoke in the air is the worst it has been in the part of Melbourne I live.
    It is getting in the house. Hard to breath outside.
    No chance of hanging the washing out to dry our working outside.
    F**K YOU SCOMO!

    The lack of care for this thread by most is pretty disappointing.

    pretty sure the world knows now. There are plenty of news showing more overseas than what we are getting

    I know they know but they're all too wrapped in their Trump talk to care.
