More than 4,000 people trapped on a beach are ordered to shelter in the ocean as bushfires close in and turn the sky red after blazes destroy 'multiple' homes and leave many people missing.



Terrified people trapped on the beach said they were standing on the pier with lifejackets waiting for the signal to jump in the water.

About 100,000 people were urged to flee five Melbourne suburbs on Monday evening.


In the worst-affected state, New South Wales, fires have burned more than 4 million hectares (9.9m acres) destroying more than 900 houses.

Across the country, 10 people have died including three volunteer firefighters with most of the casualties in New South Wales.

Around 100 fires are burning across the state, with up to half as yet uncontained by firefighters and continuing to threaten lives.

The fires have been exacerbated by 40C temperatures and strong winds, creating difficult conditions for the 2,500 firefighters deployed in the field.

Their response time in containing the situation is swift, Whereas in Africa natural disasters are black-made man-made.

Climate Change in action.
Re: Australia Fire: 4000 People Trapped On Beach, Takes Shelter In The Ocean(Pic) by Nukilia: 9:35am On Dec 31, 2019
Avoid planting trees 50 meters around the house. Ensure 50 meters perimeter around your house is cemented this is a solution to this type of disaster.
This would save most homes in the future.. undecided

why do you think most fire reports include wind speed?

wind can easily disperse the embers and burning or smoking material from the fire, that's how one fire can become 10 different fires in a short time

50 meters or 100 meters may not make much difference depending on the intensity of the fire, humidity conditions and wind speed
