Nearly 10,000 people have been told to flee immediately as more than 100 fast-moving blazes tear through Queensland amid the state's bushfire crisis. Thousands of people were evacuated from communities in central Queensland after catastrophic fire conditions on Wednesday. Early on Thursday, residents of two more communities - Campwin Beach and Sarina Beach south of Mackay - were woken by police and emergency text messages telling them they were in danger and to move to safety immediately. About 140 bushfires are burning across an almost 2,000km stretch from Yungaburra, south of Cairns, to Mount French, west of the Gold Coast.

I have to add this comment - The Australian Bushfires thread was started by Celia one year ago. Since then Celia
does not comment any more because she was treated not very nicely by certain members of YLC.
Another one of my friends has resigned as well. He liked the thread but
sarcastic remarks that were aimed at him forced him out.
