'nature is a fucking bitch in Australia'

In case anyone missed the link from cleolinda 's journal, I'm posting it here because it is brilliant.

"So if your news service starts with the question 'what went wrong' and answers it with anything other than 'nature is a fucking bitch in Australia', please tell them to piss off in your best Hugh Jackman tones."

The hunt for blame is what has been pissing me off most about a lot of the media coverage. And that includes our OWN media. Not regarding the arsonists, but particularly when they have a go at the CFA etc for not 'being prepared'.

We were warned and prepared. We were all told to keep off the roads and stay inside that day. We knew it was going to be a fucking awful day... It was just a thousand times worse than anyone could have imagined.

Yeah, I think even if you hadn't been warned most people would know to take precautions - there are some days you do just know. (remembers 2007 only too well ... and gods, it was bad but nothing like what you guys have had ... )

Arsonists need to die. :/
