El Presidente Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Lisa, reports are that most of the missing have now been found. We don't have a lot of Tasmanian members and are trying to contact the ones we know.
canadianbeaver Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 That sounds positive. To see this as a headline, with photo, was pretty alarming!
bobbutcher Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Yes no deaths at this stage down here, fingers crossed it stays that way.
AndrewNR Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Wow I've been living under a rock Thats terrible. Here I was naively thinking we'd dodged a bullet with this heatwave.
Fuzz AI Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Hope all Tas members are safe and well. This week is going to be a scorcher across the country, with a very high risk of bushfire breakouts. If any members are in high risk areas, don't wait till the last minute. Get out while you can and stay safe. Material things can always be replaced, lives cannot.
canadianbeaver Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Yes no deaths at this stage down here, fingers crossed it stays that way. So glad to hear this! Be well, mate!
OZCUBAN Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Yes let's hope our Tassie brethren are OK ,we have had a scorcher of a start to Summer here down under . In the west over Xmas new year we had 7 days straight of over 37.c and 3 of those were over 40.c and one @42.5 and it's starting again this week Welcome to summer down under OZ

OZCUBAN Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 yea here in Tas we recorded the hottest day ever of 41.9 ...the other day...I dont think I can remember a hotter first week of the year.. It's been like that over here as well Scott,I know Perth is a hot place in summer at the best of times ,but in Tasmania it's unheard of ,I have a feeling it's going to be a scorcher this summer OZ wide Stay safe OZ
