Fog Blog World Log: Australia Fires Continue To Rage:

THE RAGING AUSTRALIA WILD FIRES KEEP ON RAGING WITH NO END IN SIGHT! THIS MAP SHOWS WHERE THE CURRENT FIRES ARE AND IF YOU WERE TO SUPERIMPOSE A TEMPERATURE MAP OVER THIS....IT WOULD SHOW THAT THE HIGHEST TEMPS OF OVER 43C ARE WHERE THE MOST FIRES ARE IN THE NORTH AND EAST!........An absolutely astonishing set of bushfires is burning around Australia currently, producing surreal images like those of evacuees fleeing to beaches—or boats—for safety. The situation has been particularly dangerous in Victoria and New South Wales, where fires have surrounded Sydney, choking the air with smoke. So much smoke, in fact, that even New Zealand has been significantly impacted by it over 2,000 kilometers away.So far, almost 15 million acres of land have burned. For comparison, California's nightmare 2018 fire season burned around 2 million acres.Unfortunately, the weather has yet to turn helpful, although there are some encouraging signs for the near future. Saturday, specifically, saw worsening conditions, and Victoria activated emergency powers for the first time amidst ongoing evacuations.
