tekazgtr1984 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's some scary sh*t, indeed. Apparently, Nasa telescopes took pictures that showed the smoke cloud being visible from space. I have to say it's quite horrible, and supposedly the blazes weren't accidental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah, the fires down where I am from originally were deliberately lit, and some others were lit just last night also. One town had a population of 519 people, they are now saying that 100 of those were killed, expected death toll to be close to 300. 300,000 Hectares has burnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
