Mammoth dry.

Just heard something remarkable during tonight's weather report on ABC: Melbourne has received 2.2 millimetres of rain in 2009. That's barely 3% of the 77 mm we should have gotten by this point.

3%.

Something to think about while watching this startling video from Black Saturday. A man filmed it from the porch of his home in St Andrews as the smoke of an approaching firestorm turned into an unimaginable wall of flame that surrounded his property. He sought refuge in a concrete bunker when radiant heat made it impossible to continue filming.
