My boyfriend and I came out of superstore and saw the smoke. He said the airport was probably doing drills, I said that is was beyond the airport. Prayers to the family, hope all are ok.
Was just around there when it started on my motorbike. Almost looked like it was trying to start the bush one fire behind. Such a dangerous time with the dry grass and wind. To bad for the owners to happen on Mothers day hope things are resolved the best as possible.
At least smoke isn’t a greenhouse gas.
