I currently live and work in Melbourne. It has been quite hazardous the last few days. Thankfully we have quite a few storms over on the east/south east of Australia at the moment. Certainly will not stop the fires but... it may halt them spreading further.

Won't do much in South Australia, but the rain is welcomed in adding some moisture content to make our lives a little easier over the coming weeks elsewhere on the continent.
The rain needs to be a recurring theme, not just a once off to really make an impact, see what happens, this fire season will likely continue on even as we enter into Winter again.

Sorry to hear that. Just can't get away from it down there I guess. Don't wanna be in the outback, but also don't wanna be near or in the brush either right about now. Maybe they figured with the upcoming storms that the conditions might not be so bad for the players. Not an easy decision to make for an event like that. Not as if they can just fit it in later in the year without a significant effort, and cost, if it would even be possible.

Hopefully Pem goes Super Saiyan and put's those fires out.

Doesn't need to go Super Saiyan, a Kamehameha suffices

(For those who don't get it, both Muten-Roshi and Son-Goku have fought fire with a Kamehameha)

Also, the European Space Agency made a superb picture from Space of the Wildfires:

You can literally see the inferno from Space, and it looks almost more like lava flows than fire.

That's A LOT of land. Holy crap.

I take it Sub Zero is a no go down under?
