A short post today as we lost our internet connection on Thursday / Friday and I am using the school's computer.
It has been a very surreal last couple of days. The forecast for Saturday looked miserable and the reality turned out even worse. The temperature topped out at 117 degrees (highest ever recorded) and howling winds. This brought on the wildfires to a devastating degree. We had embers / ashes falling on our house on Saturday evening / night. Thank goodness the homeowners were well prepared.
We have been very lucky both as a family and school and town community - yet surrounding towns have not been so lucky.
The weather appears to be cooperating which is a huge break.
More later.
Be well,
Nord

As the news carries stories of fast moving fires, we are glad to hear that you were not in the direct path.
Fires! Heat wave! Kangaroos! You are certainly experiencing something VERY different. Who's the writer in the family? I can see a movie or play emerging out of this. Be safe,
Chris and farm family
You've all been on my mind. I'm so glad for your post. My Australian geography is not so good so the U.S. news coverage makes it difficult to know when you're in harms way. Stay safe, think cool!
