Our thoughts are with our Aussie neighbors...it must be a living hell..Christchurch NZ where we live is some 2200kms from Sydney Australia in a straight line..and we are all oranged out here with the smoke haze...it is very strange with no sun but an orange glow...what it must be like in Aussie with not only the orange haze but having real concerns that the fire is close, must be quite scary...
