Thanks PondDreamer We're nearly out of the woods, just a couple more weeks I think & we'll be in recovery mode

I'm really happy to hear that. I hope there are groups in place to begin replanting forests and what not. Such incredible widespread devastation is very sad.

I think the government here will set many groups to replant once the fires are all out. This has unfortunately turned into quite a political situation, that the people blame the government for not telling them this would happen.....unfortunately even they don't have a crystal ball or are best mates with Mother Nature....

Im relieved to hear that. People are just angry and using government to take it out on, I suppose. Better that than each other I guess. I don't think anyone could have known such devastation would or could happen, you know?

So true, I guess sometimes people need someone to blame unfortunately.
But some good news! It's been raining not ridiculously heavy, but raining none the less so today is the first day there are no alert messages for communities around my own

That is good news! Hope you get just the right amount to help things there.
