Fire

This thing in Canberra is freaky. It's hardly a bushfire, it's in a residential area!! Houses are burning instead of trees.

It's so weird and freaky.

Then there's the second toxic-dump governmental fuck-up in Perth in recent years. I remember February... 2001? I was driving along Roe Hwy and thought it was truck lights on the road ahead or something. Then I got closer and saw smoke. As I drove past I remember seeing a tree go up in a fireball. Lucky the wind was blowing the other, my windows were down and that smoke was disgustingly toxic. Polluted the air and the nearby river good and proper.

Stupid government, can't do a thing right.
*grumbles*

I hate to say this but suburbs burn, we've had bush fires go through residential areas before and no doubt will again. It's a mess but thats the way Australia is.
