I don't know how anyone can be a climate denier any more...

Wholeheartedly agree, the flood/fire combo shouldn't start until December.

I'm not kidding, vic weather is always batshit with heatwaves almost inevitably broken by storms, but don't let any bastard use that to handwave this. This is very much aberrant weather for Spring.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Flash flooding is expected through Wednesday afternoon in northeastern Victoria, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, as rain drenched parts of the state where as recently as Tuesday about 17,000 hectares were ablaze.

First responders overnight rescued a farmer in the area who got trapped after driving through floodwaters, according to chief officer operations Tim Wiebusch at Victoria state emergency service.

Firefights are working to contain bush fires in two parts of Victoria state but authorities said there was no immediate threat to residents.

Across the border in New South Wales state, a 5,200 hectare bush fire was out of control near the town of Bermagui, roughly 300 km (186 miles) southwest of Sydney.

"I just feel anxious and a bit on edge because we don’t really know yet what's next," Sheena Boughen, a resident of a nearby town, told state broadcaster ABC.

State fire authorities said conditions eased overnight although several properties were lost and firefighters were working to contain the blaze.


The original article contains 360 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 54%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
