I donated a pile of money. Apparently naked lady has had a breakdown though? I was kinda interested seeing how many nudies I got for a few chunks. Local pubs here are doing a firie pub crawl, $30 for a pint (i assume) at ALL THREE pubs, all proceeds to fires.

A firestorm might not reach the city, but it could absolutely burn everything around the CBD and cut it off. there's not really enough densely forested stuff across and around brisbane for this tbh. I mean yeah if fire comes in from the west a lot is going to go up and it'd be scary as poo poo but it'd need to spread through a lot of suburbs without much green space to get from there to cut off the m1 or the bruce, let alone both. Even when Sarabah was absolutely blowing up the M1 never really shut down anywhere in QLD to my knowledge

At least there are no bogs in the affected areas, right? In other news: quote:Onion Soup Interactive today announced it will donate all profits for one week from sales of Nippon Marathon on Steam to charity. Profit from the sales between January 7th - 14th will be donated. Onion Soup Interactive hopes this will provide vital support for the wildlife charities and responders bravely risking their lives to keep Australia’s wildlife safe from the bushfires.

Instead he's facing pretty much an entire nation that collectively despise him now. There's probably a lot of now-homeless outbackers who haaaate him for not committing to protect them with more fire equipment ("Four trucks, mista prime ministah!" ), and any real hope he had with the suburbs being indifferent enough to nod and agree that it's not climate change went up in the smoke clouds pushing across all three major metropolitan states repeatedly this past week. A smart marketer would've read the wind and jumped on the "yup, it's Climate Change" bandwagon just to get people off his back without actually doing anything. Scomo is not a smart marketer, and I don't think anyone's buying what he's selling.Malcolm Turnbeug posted:there's not really enough densely forested stuff across and around brisbane for this tbh.

Yeah essentially the wind blows west to east across middle of Australia, pretty much just a desert and furnace, to bring its hot load to the outer rims all over the population. The wind from the deep south of Antarctica is the one that usually keep things chill and brings freezing temp to Australia and New Zealand.

Part of the local smoke problem is there's just been so goddamn much of it generated that it hasn't mattered which way the wind blew; It just got pushed around Victoria and NSW. It's not until sometime around midday-ish tomorrow that a southerly wind's going to get a chance to actually make a difference.

thatbastardken posted:gently caress, a fire in d'aguilar state forest could burn right up to indooroopilly yeah tbh I have to assume this is p much the worst case for brisbane specifically. The redlands thing I'm not sure about bc not only are all the big stretches of scrub between there and Brisbane CBD quite small, and split up, they're all very accessible and essentially 100% recreational space as opposed to lamington or d'aguilar where a huge chunk of it is inaccessible to vehicles

even now that I look at the map I have to assume Wivenhoe being on the west end of d'aguilar probably means more is accessible than i'm imagining, the difference in topography between that and the border parks further south is actually quite extreme as well by the look of it

Sarabah was the big one at the time and the main reason it burned for as long as it did and managed to get as big as it was was bc QFES just couldn't get close enough because of the terrain. accessibility is super important.

The forecast shows that Perth is going to be the hottest and the driest state capital in the country these next seven days, with maximums in the mid to high 30s and not a drop of rain until next Thursday. That bushfire just south of Perth around Casuarina has been issued with a "Evacuate immediately if possible" warning https://www.emergency.wa.gov.au/ So yeah, good luck with all that GotLag posted:The smell of the funeral pyre for Kangaroo Island has arrived in Adelaide

We're ALL dealing with the bushfires this year one way or another, don't make it be with your lungs. They are :tenbux: each on Amazon, and you can get a bigass pack of filters for $20AUD. It's overkill, but better that than inhaling smoke.

 Victoria fire danger ramps up as resort rolls out snow guns to protect infrastructure Snow machines have been brought out of hibernation to protect alpine resorts as Victoria's first state of disaster is extended for two days ahead of worsening fire conditions. The Alpine region, East Gippsland and the state's north-east are bracing for yet another day of extreme fire danger. Two evacuation warnings and one emergency warning are in place for areas in the Alps, including Mt Buffalo, due to an out-of-control bushfire near Abbeyard. Mount Hotham Resort Management Board chief executive Jon Hutchins said his team had been clearing vegetation and putting snow machines around critical sites. "In the ski resort here we've had all our snow guns in position which create a fog for any ember attack," he said. "They also create dampness on the ground so the embers can't take off or take hold." The machines were positioned yesterday around vital infrastructure such as pumps, gas works, and sewerage works and areas of the environment critical to native and threatened species. Mr Hutchins said preparations had been going on for weeks, but the weather had at times made it difficult. "It's funny when you think just over a month ago we had just over a foot of snow at the resort and now we've got bushfires, which makes alpine management really quite a challenge," he said.
