Have any of you been involved in any major bushfire?

Black Saturday, 7th Febuary 09, I was involved with that. Our house is in the most fire prone state in the world, victoria (bit of a bummer), but the nearest fire to us was about 10km away. It was just north east of us, and was going east, so we were ok.
From 6th to about 15th feb there was very thick smoke and you couldn't see like, ten meters in front of you. On the morning of black saturday, I got up and saw the rest of my family watching the morning news. They said a bushfire had wiped out marysville (one of our most visited places) and most of kingslake. And there was about 150+ fires in our state. I was like, damn.

Right now its about 43C and its very windy, so the fire deartment have declared a catastrophic code for the northern parts of vic.. Meaning you must leave. We're in te northern parts of victoria, but we're staying cause theres no fire to worry about. the fire council is over reacting big time.

I have friends on facebook who are in pretty close proximity of the fires,they find it very unsettling to say the least.

I wish you and everyone else who could be affected by the fires to stay safe and healthy. I hope the fires die down soon.
