The fires here in Sydney are still blazing away, but that didn't stop the new year's fireworks display from going ahead just a few hours ago. As far as I am aware, no (human) lives have been lost, but there's been a great deal of property damage, and an immense amount of national parkland has been burned away. In truth, most Sydneysiders are unaffected except for the appalling air quality and the fact that a fine layer of ash has been deposited over the entire city, which people will no doubt discover on their desks as they return to work! You can take a look at some eerie pictures of the Sydney skyline here: http://www.smh.com.au/news/0112/26/gallery/snapshot1.html Duraid On Tue, 2002-01-01 at 02:21, Michael Barr wrote:
It seems like there are natural disasters, first in Sydney and, to a lesser extent, in Buffalo (82 inches of snow by one report) and I would like to enquire how all are.
