As my grandma would say, "It's dryer than a popcorn fart down there!" With how dry things are down there the fire will spread extremely fast. I would guess that there's a lot of 'fuel' for that fire as well since it has been awhile since there have been really bad fires in that area (if I recall correctly) to clear out the underbrush. No different than what happened in Yellowstone in 1988. Problem is that once a wildfire gets large enough it starts to create its own weather patterns which will whip up the wind and cause it to grow exponentially faster. I would also guess that many of the wild land fire fighters have been shipped to Canada to fight the fires up there and it is going to take some time to reposition resources.

User ID: 27971960 United States 07/17/2015 09:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated Australia covered in white: The biggest snow fall since 1984 Areas of southern Queensland, New South Wales, west and northwest area of Sydney, Australia, were completely wrapped in a snow blanket on Thursday, July 16 and Friday, July 17, 2015. This rare event was considered by some to be the country's most significant snow fall in the last three decades. In less than a week, a second outburst of ice cold weather swept across Australia. Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) reported about 8 cm of snow (around 3 inches) in the south of Queensland. Meteorologist Sam Campbell said that this could be the state's biggest snowfall since 1984, in line with the 5 cm snow fall (1.96 inches) in the winter of 2007. [ link to thewatchers.adorraeli.com] |
