    It was about 41 here, Not bad compared my Melbournien neighbors, but all the same. Still hot. Same as Melb, the sky was Grey and it was very humid. I was going to accompany a mate of mine to Melb today. (she hates driving in the city) But instead of leaving at 6 in the morning like we had intended. She left at 3:30Am with out telling me. I then get a phone call at 7 "I'm lost, help" she also got scared panicked and got 2 speeding tickets and then her car over heated. Poor little bugger.

    I had to be outside yesyterday for a good 30 mins. I got so hot that my body went into that state of intense temperature not knowing if it's hot or cold anymore.

    Then today came and it's cooler by a huge margin. I love Melbourne weather.

    Well, flooding was bad enough but fortunately no one lost their lives up this way.

    My condolences go out to those who have lost not just their houses, but also their lives in the bushfires that have been caused by this heat wave.

    According to Sunday Night these fires were no act of nature but deliberately lit by arsonists.

    it was pretty bad yesterday. I found a falcon sick from heat exhaustion in my front yard.
    I called the RSPCA to come collect him but by the time they made it the poor fella died
    Hey and how about all the Koalas coming out of the trees for water!

    We had a 48.C yesterday- about 5 years ago i worked for an almond harvesting mob. Got to over 50.C and the aircon in the heavy steel tree shaker just didnt work at all. Still surprises me today that we didnt shut the machine down (the temp gauge was sitting on 90.c all day long and amazingly didnt go higher and overheat).

    Never seen a tree shaker?

    Yes - and "if" they ever get caught, they will apparently be charged with murder!

    no they'll get a slap on the wrist and say they were having mental difficulties, obviously not enough difficulty with going out and lighting a fire

    Catching and prosecuting arson is really hard since most of evidence is incinerated - so the police have my sympathy. And I'm not sure if they can throw a murder charge at them without providing malice aforethought... manslaughter perhaps and definitely destruction of property, endangerment of lives etc.

    If the cops don't catch them I really hope that Karma does. (-_-)
