I took some photos as it came through here. A close thing. We were
reasonably OK. Friends up the mountain at Cabramurra were blessed not to
have lost someone or more buildings.
I flew over the burn in a chopper afterwards for work. Huge area.

Do we have any list members photographing the mess in Canberra? Scary stuff.

One of our most photogenic cities was yesterday partly decimated by summer
bushfires. Currently the toll amounts to 4 people dead with about 30
injured, some seriously, and 388 homes gutted. The city is Canberra, our
national capital and emergency services report that the worst is not yet
over.
