I live on this site. Radar is great if your going for a squirt too.
If you go to radar, pick melb obviously but you can click on doppler wind radar as well

Apparantly we have a 'copycat' arsonist in our South West - 18 deliberately lit fires since the Vic tragedy according to report this morning .

ie Not only is this arsonist a self absorbed power tripper but displays no imagination either !? :x :x

my nephew was at yarra glen. lost his house but the hay shed survived. his bike was in the hay shed between two rows of bales. an ember fell on the seat, burnt through it and went out. go figure

They say we can't have Vigilante actions
but surely if you tie one of these Bastards to a tree a klm in front of one of his own fires it's not murder is it?
I'de be nice enough to leave an industrial fan blowing on him to keep him cool :twisted:

Also more news reports.
