I live in a moderately fire prone area over here in the west, but those friends are uppermost in my mind constantly.
This doesn't mean I have to go and hide under a rock, to cancel something like the Summer Nats would be pretty costly and there is a good chance that someone at that event will have organised a fund raiser for fire victims, well you'd certainly hope so.
Half my life was spent living in the Pilbara and each year we had the threat of cyclones and I went through a few, but to my mind, they pale into insignificance compared to the ferocity of the fires.
At least no one ever deliberately started a cyclone.
Stay safe,
Cheers,
Geoff.
