The Hot Pepper

Thanks, mate. It has certainly been a devastating holiday season for many here. While I am not affected as yet, the smoke and smell of fire are a daily reminder to those that are.

the footage ive seen is just awful. really glad you're okay mate.

Things are bad all over. I too am in no real danger, and am thankful for it.

We've been thru similar wildfires, fortunately with no loss of life that time. Carlton Complex. It is traumatic and will take years to recover both physically and emotionally. Even for those not directly in the path of the storm. We've been thinking of everyone down under praying for rain for you.
