Holy Crap

[Craig]

There's this huge fire up on the industrial estate and it's like a 5 minute walk/2minute car journey from me. And the place that is on fire is LEAKING some toxic gas into the air so the road around it has been evacuated and we've been warned to keep our windows shut and not go out. Feck me there's even helicopters flying around! This is probably the biggest fire in like 50 years, well where we live anyway. Nothing's been put up on the net about it yet but when there has I'll link ya'll.

Its always dead scary when there's fires, I remember when a car dealer and a tyre shop blew up across the road from me [When I say blow up, It really did.]

[Craig]

100 degrees farenheit is like OUCCH! :p k and I hope all the toxic goes soon

[Steven.]

Dorset isn't that far from cornwalll lyk. and it's freezing down here. :[

Yeah it's pretty lcose to Cornwall, but Dorset is probably the most unknown place in England,but we have 'Lulworth Cove' and one of the best beaches in Britain xD

Poor rubbish men collectors,they still have work despite it being all toxicy lol. So not only do they have to collect rubbish but with toxic air. I think it was Asbestos that was released,or something.

Oh no all the pasties will freeze over :(

[Neversoft]

Hmm there was that over fire a couple of months ago. That big explosion in the factory or somthing. It blew peoples windows in and blew their doors off. I'll try find out where it was. Anyway, hope it doesn't spread. :o

[Kukuthebird]

I remember that, it was all smokey down here from it.

He meant celcius ;)

[Kardan]

100 farenheit isn't hot, I've been in 110 farenheit temperatures, that's like 43 degrees.

That was the Bunsfield Oil Depot. at Hemel Hempstead which is about 20 miles from me. The explosion woke me up as it was really loud. Scared the hell outta me. The smoke spread upto 100 miles apparently. I could see it outside my house for hours.

[brandon]

He meant celcius ;)
celcius is even hotter. :p and yeah it's still pretty hot in farenheit though :p

[Kardan]

100 Fahrenheit = 38 Celcius
110 Fahrenheit = 43 Celcius

Yes, it was like that last week. You're saying the heat didn't make you suffer at all?

[Kardan]

Well since you were talking about fires, 38 Celcius isn't hot compared to a fire is it? :rolleyes:

Anyways the 43 Celcius I got was in America, I think the highest temperature the UK got was about 36/37 Celcius which is about 98 Fahrenheit...

38.6, LAST WEEK. We're not talking about the heat of the fire, we're talking about the heat the fire is causing around Craig's housing area... I'd say 38 is hot.

LEAKING some toxic gas into the air
Don't lie. You farted didn't you?

And to make my post serious and meaningful... The smoke from the Hemel Hempsted fire could be seen on the Weather Satelites on Weather Reports.

That's 100 miles in like one direction, no wonder I saw it. I live less than 100 miles away to the north of that. About 50 or less miles actually
