I know bushfires move quick but seeing it doesn’t make sense



3 bloody minutes. Scary

It's over in 3 minutes.

They're in what's called the "dead man zone" and that video shows exactly why.

They get a wind change and are overrun by fire within a minute and a half I reckon.

Just checked - about a minute and a half.

See how relaxed everyone is at the start and watch the sky at the top right of the vid.

About 10 - 15 seconds in the tallest eucalyptus starts swaying with the breeze. That's the first of the wind change.

The truck is being impacted by fire at about 1.45 - 1.50 and you could probably be out of the truck and attacking the fire before the video is over.

Really quick hey.

So quick I don't think they have the cab spray on when the fire first hits them first. It could be the wind blowing the spray away at those times tho.

Also did you notice the Group Vehicle? It was bringing them food and water probably, and planning for the wind change that came 10 minutes early. They just reverse straight up the road. Don't even turn around. The time the first truck takes to turn around stops the second truck getting away, the civilian 4wd does as well. You should always have the truck pointing in the direction you need to go to escape. Theoretically.

Can you see the small fireball at 1.40?

They can be huge And travel hundreds of metres before burning out. Sometimes they land in unburnt country or behind containment lines and start another fire.

That one turns into a Phoenix or firebird at 1.42. Looks pretty cool.

Clive fatso ran ads during the election blaming the sale on the ALP and saying had been allowed to build an airbase in the desert, by Labor.

Never mind that they weren't in power. Or that it didn't happen.

never let the truth interfere with a good story, bi tlike it being the greens fault that the bushfires burned even though they have never been in government in either of the states affected or federal parliaments.

Are you suggesting that minor parties can't influence policy?

There is still a very slim chance that might happen this year.

Canberra might cop it again this weekend depending on how bad the wind gets.

We're not even in Victoria's peak bushfire season.

the fire flew across that road clearing as well, these people suggesting a modest fire break will stop fires of this magnatude are living in a fantasy.

Brexit > British economy.

What do they export ? Anything ?

How big is tourism to their bottom line ?

Did your pool get full of dirty rain again last night Gaso? Looks like we’ve copped it again

 

[goalieboy82]

and the UK is out of the EU:

 

[Del191229]

Now the Brits begin the process of renegotiation in order to get deals that will be worse than what they already had.

He's currently out sourcing a truck load of sulfuric acid to clean the pool.

Here's another idea Gaso, if you don't want to go with a cover then build a cheap pool house.

We got clean rain, but the floc is still working in my pool so there was a nice floor of dust to vacuum up but crystal clear water.

Halfway though vacuuming and my pump stops working. Won't start back up.

Banking..
they’ll look to model Singapore so they be the banking sector of the European Union with being beholden to their rules.

Yeah I'm torn.
-Need a good clean
-spending the afternoon/evening outdoors at Rochford.

Oh well the pump has kicked in again so I've got a clean pool for the next hour or so.

Are you suggesting that minor parties can't influence policy?

influence is one thing, setting the agenda is another, if both labour and liberal were governing for their constituants rather than their lobby groups most of their policies would pretty much be in unison, however thats rarely the case, and we are in a period where there is prolly the least amount of difference between both the mainstreams parties policies.
