Historic, horrendous wildfire have made conditions in Australia beyond dire. Gizmodo assembled a short list of trustworthy sites like the Red Cross, Vinnies, Givit, Koalas In Care, Wire Wildlife Rescue and NSW Rural Fire Service where you can donate to help the people and animals in New South Wales and Queensland. The Sydney Morning Herald also put together a list of safe charities – most are different from Gizmodo's. If you feel so moved to help victims of these historic wildfires, they would surely appreciate any assistance.

Spring Is Arriving Earlier Across the US, Throwing Wildlife Into Disarray – HOLLY NOTE: Saturday it was in the mid-70s and will continue through Thursday. Even though it's still technically winter for another 2 weeks, I put out the spring wreath on the front door and hanging baskets. When Stan and I got back from the grocery store yesterday, little Cassin's house finches were already building a nest in the baskets. They also nest in the wreath every year. This is unfortunate that they're doing this so early because March is Colorado's snowiest month. We've gotten down into the teens where it's killed not just fruit blossoms but the entire tree when they 'woke up' too early.
5.8 Earthquake Strikes Off Coast of Northern California – HOLLY NOTE: Outside of the 7.7 temblor that hit the Caribbean in January and a 7.0 in Russia in February, there have been few large-magnitude quakes lately to relieve tectonic stress.

NWS: 8 Tornadoes Hit Tennessee, Kentucky In March Tornado Outbreak
Nashville Devastation: 575+ Homes, Businesses Majorly Damaged Or Destroyed In Tornado – HOLLY NOTE: This horrificly destructive tornado is even more rare in that less than 2% of all twisters in the U.S. strike at 1 a.m. Again, that it occurred this early in the year, in the middle of the night and was so strong, it's the Trifecta of weird.
Tornado That Hit East Of Nashville Was EF4 Twister Packing 175-Mph Winds

Is Winter Over? With Spring-like Temperatures Ahead, You'd Think So – HOLLY NOTE: Hard to believe it's still winter when it's supposed to be 77º on Saturday. Tomorrow we'll ready the veggie beds and mix up new batches of Garden Gold's Super Soil. Sunday we'll start seeds for transplanting and when onion sets arrive next week, they'll be planted. For our growing area, it's considered 'safe' to plant even cold-tender varieties by Mother's Day, 9 weeks away. Since it's warming early – and we're not taking this as gospel – we'll be ready several weeks ahead if the long-range forecast warrants.
Additionally, with the COVID-19 issue, we have no idea if commercial fresh fruits and veggies will be available since a great deal comes from California so we're expanding the beds. All week long at Walmart, there was a huge expanse of bare space where packaged greens normally live. When we asked what happened, the stocker replied "supplier issues." That's all she was told.

Tennessee Tornadoes Leave At Least 19 Dead – HOLLY NOTE: Tornadoes don't usually arrive this early in the season with April - June the most active months. Also, they usually occur before 9 p.m., not at 1 a.m. when people are asleep and missing NOAA weather alerts. This is a wretched start to tornado season. NOAA predicts an earlier start for spring and warmer in most of the U.S., so we can expect more severe weather. The upside is that most folks can start their veggie gardens sooner.

Canada Will Be Literally Colder Than Siberia and Mars This February – HOLLY NOTE: A girlfriend who lives in Edmonton, Alb. said it's actually -45C, which is -49ºF. She writes: "My dad told me years ago of a winter where there was something close to 2 months more or less that they had -40s F while he was on his farm in Mundare, about an hour or so east of here, and how brutal it was to survive it. For them and their farm animals.
One of the women in our prayer group lives about 1-1/2 hours south of me on an acreage. She has 2 horses, which to her are like our dogs to us, just that they have to live outside.

Wallabies Flee Wildfire Inferno – HOLLY NOTE: If you've never played with a Wallaby, they are like miniature kangaroos only 1 to 2 feet high. Wallabies are gentle creatures with very soft paws, great big eyes for their size and eyelashes long enough to make every woman green with envy.
One of Stan's long-time friends, Chas Parker, opened Ballarat Wildlife Park in 1987. Chas took Stan under his wing when he first moved to Australia in '71. When we moved from Perth to Victoria, we used to play cards with Chas and Val on Saturday nights. Chas passed Nov. 2011; Stan and he remained good friends until his death – a friendship spanning 40 years and 2 continents. Now his son, Greg, runs the wildlife park.
We were fortunate enough to have private tours and experience the park on a level not available to tourists. Their 37-acre property is fenced so kangaroos, wallabies, emus and tortoises are allowed to roam at freely. Visitors can sit with them, feed and play with them in a unique setting. – video

Mysterious 'Hums' Detected Around The World Are Traced Back to a Magma-Filled Reservoir Deep Under The Indian Ocean – HOLLY NOTE: Unfortunately erroneous information is floating around the Internet as to where the antipodal (opposite) location is on the map for an earthquake event possibly instigated at the site of this magma reservoir. Stan discovered the antipodal correlation a couple decades ago and discussed it often in radio interviews back in the day.
The magma location referenced in this article is under Mayotte, France, which sits nearly dead-center between Madagascar and N. Mozambique. The antipodal location is not the U.S. West Coast. It is, in fact, very far from the West Coast – many miles southwest, West of Central America. It is more than halfway to Hawaii and even south of those islands.
Hawaii is about 2,500 miles from the U.S mainland. Since the antipodal is a little more than halfway closer to Hawaii, it puts the correct spot about 1,300 miles off the U.S. West Coast. Here are two antipodal maps so you can makes your own assessments. www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com and www.antipodesmap.com.
We like the first because it's easier to use – a little bit. See Mayotte's antipodal on this map. The second is good because it gives long/lat. See Mayotte's antipodal on this map.

GET OUT NOW: 24 Hour Deadline to Leave as Food and Water Runs Out, Australian Troops Prepare For Bushfire Emergency Evacuations By Sea – HOLLY NOTE: To put Australia's wildfire devastation into perspective, CONUS is about the same size as Australia. 35% of it is full-on desert. Only 6% of the land is suitable for growing food. Just 3% of the population live in very dry areas, everyone else is amassed around the coast.
Check this map to see where most of the fires are occurring. Click the 0-12 + 12-24 boxes and a couple hundred fires for just one day appear. Wildfires are raging outside every major city. This morning, in New South Wales and Victoria alone, over 200 fires burn. In NSW, 50,000 homes are without power, phones are down, fuel is running low and major supermarkets are closed. This weekend, NSW is expected to hit 115ºF.
America's worst 2 fire seasons in the last 25 years came in 2015 and 2017 when a little over 10 million acres burned. For 2019, Australia saw 12.3 million acres scorched and they are just now heading into summer. When the U.S. experiences wildfires, a lot of the charring occurs in forested areas. Australia's fires are most often in and around residential areas because it's pretty hard to burn desert.
When the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age or News.com.au call these wildfires 'catastrophic' and 'like Armageddon', they aren't exaggerating. Over 1,400 homes have been destroyed, 23 people have been killed and dozens missing, wildlife in some areas is nearly wiped out with a half BILLION animals dead and will need human intervention to repopulate, crops and farm animals have been destroyed, yet meteorologists warn the worst is yet to come.
Fires razed many homes in NSW forcing people to take refuge on the open beach. What supplies they could carry have run out, hence the naval ship rescue discussed in this article. This ship can only carry 700, which leaves 4,000 stranded.
It's hard to remember many humanitarian crises this extreme in a developed country. The 2004 tsunami that wiped out 250,000 lives in Indonesia comes to mind, but Indonesia is considered a sub–developed nation. Obviously the 2011 Fukushima disaster qualifies…
If you have any extra minutes unallocated in prayer time, please lift up America's friends and allies Downunder. Incidentally, we looked at our former 10-acre farmlet property in Victoria on Google maps. There isn't a green blade of grass anywhere and the 1/2 million gallon pond Stan worked so hard to design and build is completely dry. It's likely the 2 wells are dry by now too. Stan had packed the pond full of silver and gold perch, designed it so it recirculated into a waterfall aerating it for the fish. All of that appears gone. This property was breathtakingly beautiful, full of flowers, flowering trees and shrubs, lush gardens and lawns. Now everything looks dead except for the trees. Sad as it is, it is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to what many Australians are suffering.
Things are so dire Downunder with no let up in sight, it makes one wonder if Tribulation isn't underway or a whisper away. Because Seals 2-5 are pretty indistinguishable from current events – war, famine, death and killing of Christians – it will be hard to tell when it begins. It will likely only be clear when Seal 6 opens – a mammoth earthquake so violent it moves great landmasses and sets off volcanoes that darken the Sun and reddens the moon. Regardless of Tribulation, Australians are in hell right now.
