AirRide Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Canada watches with deep sorrow for your many loses. This is such a difficult time in your history. We cry with you, but may you find the strength to recover in the years ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Very sad indeed, all these people losing everything they worked a lifetime for. I think there is something more sinister going on with all these fires in the US and Australia myself. I know some of it is natural but some of it isn't as well.

I am lucky where I live that we have avoided fires so far but it is always a worry especially on the very hot windy days. It is so sad to see all of the losses in life, property and businesses. This is the holiday season over here and many places make the majority of their income over these few weeks. The wildlife has taken a hammering too and any survivors now have the problem of nothing to eat. It has happened before , many times in the past so we hope that everything recovers over time. I was in BC and the US a few months ago and I was impressed by the general friendliness of most of the people I met, thanks for making me so welcome.

Yes, Adam, many hold the same views as you. 87% of the fires were accidental or deliberately lit. The rest were dry lightning strikes. If you are interested look up Sky News Australia on YouTube. A very well balanced news service with up to the minute news and discussion on the fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Yep, not to mention all the poor innocent animals. I was watching them rescue Koalas and Roos among others today, some made it others didn't. I made a donation today to the Australian Bushfire emergency. Thanks for the news link Martyn.

YAMBA1 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Yep it sad to see so much destruction in this beautiful Country. Thank you all for your concerns and help, this is very appreciated. I am mostly sad to see all those wildlife destroyed . We can replace houses, but we cannot replace human tragedy or fauna near extinction . And on a happier note trying to fly in those affected areas , for Active Sky, smoke is equal to cumulus nimbus. The algorithm does not translate correctly. I would have accepted fog as an alternative, but it is not the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I join with all in saying how sorry we are that our good friends in OZ are facing such a massive tragedy. Our hearts and dollars are with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 As a little in recompense, after all the help and support Australia has given us in the past, I just hope my my own Country can find the means and the way to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
