Christchurch fires.
Hope you guys in Chch are alright down there. Absolutely terrible and scary stuff. Really I think that Chch has had more than it's fair share of natural disasters.
Stay safe. |

I'll take Locusts for $1000 please Bob.
Seriously though it's pretty eerie and looks like more houses are in the way of the flames. I just hope they can get it under control. It's not too far from one of the hospitals now. |
Re: Christchurch fires.
Scary stuff. It seems to be moving very fast and is not contained at all at present. Latest reports we got at work over here said one dead and several homes destroyed. Judging by its unpredictability I reckon there will be a lot more property losses yet.
Up to 40 homes destroyed in raging Port Hills fire - National - NZ Herald News If I tread on anyone's toes here I apologise, but I wouldn't imagine Christchurch residents are accustomed to having a bushfire plan ready, so a few hints that people might want to pass on to family/friends:

Re: Christchurch fires.
I hope everyone is ok, I'm not sure if anyone on here lives near the area. I don't know anyone that lives near the fires.
I am accustomed to it happening in Australia and have had to evacuate twice in my life, not something I thought I would see in Christchurch..(I'm in Australia at the moment) take care all! Michelle |

Re: Christchurch fires.
Hopefully the drizzle will help a little bit :fingerscrossed:

Re: Christchurch fires.
hearing that the fires might be contained, lets bloody hope so. Really really hope some of these fires are not man made, as being suggested.

And the conviction of the firestarter doesn't help the people affected. They still lose animals, homes, possessions, and sometimes their lives. |
