Fires
 

Seems Australia is on fire and its worse then past years.
Most states of oz have massive fires happening with tasmania being the worst so far. Perth, Sydney, Queensland..

I hate this time of year. New years is always fucked now cos its extremely smokey.

So we have fires Nov-Jan , what about you guys. Whats the worst shit you get for months that fucks everything up?

It has been completley fucked here in victoria, on saturday the entire sky was covered in gray mist. Tasmania is just the latest to be hit, but what the worst of it is that most of these fires are deliberatly lit!

It rains most days...



the fish in the pond like it though. ;)

What the hell do the fish get out of the rain when they are already surounded by water?

More water.

In the mid western US, you don't really have the many great months. For the most part, mid December-March are freezing cold with a lot of snow. April-May are prone to sever thunderstorms and lots of tornadoes. June-August are blistering hot with 100% humidity and infested with mosquitoes. The only really enjoyable time is September-mid December, but sometimes it starts getting really cold in November, leaving you with only two good months.

Seattle, on the other hand, usually stays between 40-80 degrees F the year round. We don't get as much rain as people think. The only bad thing is it's overcast around 250 days a year, so if you like your sunshine a lot it might not be the best place. Me, I love overcast days so it fits me like a glove.

Midwest sucks.... I remember living in Indiana... Windy, hotter than hell in the summer, routinely in the negative numbers in the winter, and the smell of fertilizer and pig shit wafting by in the summer heat.


Not to mention the swarms of cicadas every other year making so much noise you couldnt hear yourself think.

In South Eastern US we spend April through January suffering from 80-90 and the 100 degree temperature with the humidity in the 100% range. We have a general mild winter that will occasionally plummet... so it flip flops causing people to get the flu.

About fires though, our dry states in the South West suffer the same problem in our summer months. Lightning strikes, idiot campers, arsonists, oh my!

Hence, the pond won't dry out. :D

Do you remember the lady foprest ranger about 5-6 years agop that set off a huge blaze in a national park because she was burning her ex-husband's things? Stupid bitch...

You would love it here in Melbourne then man, you should check it out some time. There's heaps of rock and roll and pubs as well!

Holy shit, yes. That fucking whore!!!!!! God, if I could've gotten my hands on that stupid bitch...:mad: She should be locked in the "stupid prison" as well as anyone that she spawned. Lock them all up!!!

FISH 1. Dude! There's water coming out of the SKY.
FISH 2. The sky? What's that?
FISH 1. It's that blue thing up there.
FISH 2. Oh! So that's what it's called. There's water coming out of it?
FISH 1. Yep, and it's coming down here. You hear those splashes?
FISH 2. (listens) I'll be damned.
FISH 1. It's so frickin' AWESOME!
FISH 2. That IS pretty cool! That means the pond won't dry out.
FISH 1. You got it!

(both fish slap fins)

Wow, you know you could just fill the pond with a hose.

Anyway the point of this thread is that we are not getting any rain and the bushfires are burning the fuck out of our country!

I want lots of rain to come and put out those effing fires.

Seems to have been a yearly thing here for about half a decade now...but yeah this time, they're allover the place, it's fucked.

Here in Southern California, wildfires are a seasonal purge that happens Aug-Oct when the hot desert winds (The Santa Anna Winds) blow across miles of chapparal to the sea.

It happens every year, but people seem surprised each time it happens. It's like living in a flood plain and being surprised when the water comes.

It's the same in Norcal where I live.....one teensy spark before November and you're screwed. Last year, we had a SUPER stupid drunk bitch hit and kill a motorcyclist on Hwy 49 and then drive on a busted rim, showering sparks down the road for over fifteen MILES.....three people lost there houses to the resulting fires. And some poor wife and kids lost Dad. I was almost hoping someone would kick the shit out of her......but at least they sent the police dogs in to the bushes to get her.
Too bad they don't have police lions.

Sounds like 90% of the peopel in new england the second a flake of snow falls from the sky. Half the people drive 10 below the speed limit, regardless of visibility and road conditions (it gets COLD, so we get a lot of dry snow, which doesnt really make things dangerous), while the other half drive faster and more impatiently than they normally would, like they are saying "Screw you weather!"

we get the aftermath of every storm.
hurricanes..tornadoes...tsunami's ..the works.
and it doesn't matter from which country it came from...
As for the fires in Aus..em feeling for my over the tasman freinds
....from these fires..our skies will blacken for at least a week or 2 afterwards.

hurricane season.

I also live in an area that receieves that 2nd most precipitation in America. first is Seattle. couple that with a hurricane and you get some bad flooding.

The smoke was so bad in Melbourne when I was comeing home just before it seemed like the entire city was covered in it, Quite eary....
