Some Good News On A Wednesday From HQ Spider And Julia Rose

Well god damn! Here  I was scrolling the Gram, looking at the internet to devolve into the cess pool that it has become, and what do you know, some good news via Spider via Julia Rose! The Young King and the World Series Flasher teaming up to deliver good news on this here Wednesday, what a great surprise for my eyes.

And it’s true- there has finally been rainfall in Australia, which has helped immensely with the wild fires:

Guardian -Ben Shepherd from the NSW Rural Fire Service told Guardian Australia there had been a “dramatic reduction” in fire activity over the past week.

At least some rain has fallen across every fireground in the state. And this includes some the state’s largest fires – along the south coast, the Gospers Mountain fire north of Sydney, and the multiple fires in the Snowy Valley near Kosciuszko National Park, where separate fires have merged to create a giant cross-border blaze that reaches into Victoria.

“The south coast and up around Sydney and the Hunter had the most rainfall, and we saw some good falls yesterday around the Kosciuszko area,” Shepherd said.

Well how bout them apples??? I wouldn’t have known this and been able to spread some of this good news if not for Julia Rose and Tik Tok phenom Spider. Crazy how the world works like that. The Internet truly works in mysterious ways.

The fires aren’t completely extinguished though:

Shepherd explained that while rain does not fully extinguish large fires, it allows firefighters to look at “closer containment” for them.

For example, this week’s rain has allowed at least half a dozen fires in NSW to be downgraded from uncontained to contained.

In Victoria, the rain meant that there were no fires on Tuesday higher than advice level.

There were still 87 fires burning in NSW on Tuesday morning – down from the 101 burning on Tuesday last week, but up from the 82 burning on Thursday.

There were 17 fires burning in Victoria on Tuesday, more than were burning last Tuesday.

“It hasn’t necessarily extinguished them completely, but it has temporarily stopped their spread,” Shepherd said.

So while the rain is helping, they aren’t all clear yet. I’ll be paying very close attention to Julia Rose’s Instagram to keep everyone updated on the progress.
