Yes I am in Australia and if you are overseas and don't quite know, yes they are severe. Over 600,000 hectares are completely burned, people have died, people are missing and nearly 1 million animals have perished.
These fires have been burning since October. Please know that this happens literally every year. Every year our country suffers by fires.
Today is predicted to be the worst with 2 states joined by fires.
