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.

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.

I am not from the east coast and I use it frequently (when in the proper environment for such language). Personally, I can't stand the east coast. I couldn't leave there soon enough when travel out there is required. So, I really hope it's not an 'east coast' thing...I certainly don't want to mistaken for one of 'them.'

At least I can enunciate my R's, so I probably don't have to fear that someone may think that's where I hail from.

No offense to the east coasters!

It's true, I don't like the east coast, but you're not alone, I don't like the west coast either or any large metro area for that matter. Way too many people! Seems to me when you pack people in like sardines they start to act all crazy like. I prefer my wide open spaces and mountain views.

That said, the second statement you have highlighted in red was pure sarcasm (we really need a sarcasm font!)

This is the problem with the interwebs...I am often misunderstood. I have a very cynical, and snarky attitude and have been told my entire life that I am a smart ass. Hopefully, now that you know this, you don't take everything is say so seriously.

Cheer up! It's Friday!

Awe Sol, you didn't have to explain.

1) I definitely understand not wanting to live in this sort of overpopulated area. I don't either. :\
