News from Jeanette in WA

 Upon hearing of our rain on the east coast she writes...

Feel free to send the "wet" bit this way please.  Still no rain here & possibly not for another 3 weeks.

Had a bushfire next door last week.  Dopey neighbours lit up a pile of scrub Tuesday night & thought they'd put it out, but obviously not. It took off Wednesday morning in the screaming easterly, burnt thru 4 properties.  The firies were amazing & saved the 2 homes in the fire's path. We had 3 spot fires in ours from flying embers but got on top of them pretty quickly. Our friends up the road at the olive farm lost a machinery shed & house water tank. The rocky paddocks over road from us look like moonscapes now. 


If I knew how to send it over Jeanette I would do so.

Very sorry to hear that it's still so dry for you, Jeanette. Fingers crossed the autumn/winter rains start soon. Karen
