That's a lot of broken records! The weird thing is that it seems to have been record hot conditions across the whole planet - in both hemispheres.

153 homes were destroyed by the fire in my sister's town alone - there would only be about 300 houses in the whole town so it was quite devastating. She hasn't been able to get back in and said information is very hard to get but the reports are that the houses on her street were spared - at this stage.

Bushfires are like typhoons that are on fire and very much weather events as they are triggered by 40C days and roaring, dry north winds.
