Bushfire Smoke Warning

WARNING TO VIEWERS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA AND VICTORIA

The bushfire smoke from South Australia has already reached us here near Ballarat (7:10p.m.) and is blowing towards Melbourne.

It is fairly thick and blocking out the sky.

Keep the scope packed up tonight. :mad2:

I wouldn't be too harsh at the smoke - at least it's not in your backyard and at least you're not one of the 8 killed in it!

Not near you anywhere Paul (RR) is it?

[ballaratdragons]

I haven't heard the news much today. Sorry, I didn't know that people were killed in it. Apologies if I sounded bland about it.

Mike one of the fires is less than 8 kms away. The light here is all golden and not as it normally is. No fire here yet. Can't say the same for the Eyre *****ula.

Just went and checked the news.

Sorry for reducing it to an astronomical nuisance.

Major apology!

[iceman]

No harm Ken, you weren't to know!

Hope it stays away from you Paul and exfso!

Yeah thanks guys, smoke is quite thick in my area, but fires are closer to Paul than me, he is about 5km away to the east from me as the crow flies. The worst thing about the fires in Adelaide is that they are probably lit by arsonists, sick mongrels they are. I know what I would do to them if I got my hands on them.
