Weather where you are?

Typical Winter Weather here on the North Shore of Lake Huron in Spanish Ontario. One day 20 below and the next day 5 above and melting.

Vince your weather is scary HOT !
 
Big fire at Cudlee Creek (centre of the universe), our truck first on scene, fire is in very hilly scrub heading to more open country. Just got relieved after working for seven hours in 45+ temperatures, STUFFED
 
44 in Preston (northern suburb of Melbourne). Thick smoke haze blanketing the city this morning - thought it must have been a grass fire on the northern outskirts - turns out it's smoke from the NSW fires blown south!!!

Cool southerly change not due here until 2am - nearly 8 hours. No aircon in our 20s calabunga weatherboard. But got an aircon guy coming tomoz to discuss options.
 
Australia is hot. Very hot!

The house has gone absolutely nothing left. The shed is intact and all the contents, I will be moving my bikes to a safer location shortly, before any looters move in.

Every inch of the property has been burnt, my stock appear to be OK but will be hungry, my generous  lucerne supplier is giving me a round.

Bump.
 
Anna and I are very sad to hear that, Ian: it?s only a house, at least you?re safe. How?s the old man and his place?
 
Shit Ian. That's a bastard of a thing to happen. Glad you still with us though, and not gone up in smoke with the house.

I hope insurance will sort you out in the long term, but is there something we in the Laverda community can do in the short-term to help get some relief under way? Maybe throw some funds together for accommodation or animal feed or something. I dunno how crowd funding works but surely we could come up with some way of helping - perhaps via donations into a paypal account. I'm not a wealthy person but at least I still have a roof over my head and would be happy do donate something.

Cheers,
Cam
