Re: January February March 2010 sightings

Thanks for info, I just had a look on Wickpedia as well. It was an amazing sight. I actually stopped the car and got out to watch it go over :)

Re: General fire discussions

I'm going for a drive now to check out fire threat. The red and white helicopter (is that air recon) has been circling around now for past 20 mins. I take it they are either assessing damage or getting better view to fight fire? Will let u know what I see.
