We lived through this and not once when the threat of fires came could we see blue sky. Smoke was so thick and the wind so strong and watching this was not as realistic as to what happened. There was no internet or phones and communication was non existent at the crisis moments. There could have been more actual footage to get the story across. I found that it was hard to watch and I tried to sit through all episodes hoping it would get better. There was the occasional moment when you could almost imagine being there but they very few and far between.
