Borth fire crews tackle bog blaze near Aberystwyth
Fire at Borth Properties are not believed to be at risk although the angle of this photo makes the fire look close to homes
A fire is raging on peat bogland behind a Ceredigion coastal village, causing smoke to billow over the area.
Fire crews were called to land close to High Street, Borth, near Aberystwyth, on Friday at 05:20 GMT.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service say the blaze covers approximately a hectare (2.5 acres)
I always wonder how people pronounce the names of those places in Wales. It is a Celtic language that is only spoken there and a small colony in Argentina [?!].
Harry and William are joining fellow Brit soldiers to fill sandbags to try to save homes and businesses. The Queen has donated some of her own money to help those in need.
Britain has been battling heavy rain and flooding for weeks, but the Thames only recently joined the list of rivers to burst their banks. This image is from the town of Egham. Adding to the weather woes, storms and high winds battered the country on Wednesday and Thursday, leaving some 80,000 people without power. @ Picture This: Water Woes - SPIEGEL ONLINE
The weather has gone crazy on both sides of the Atlantic. Britain's worst weather in 150 years we hear about and in the US it's blizzard after blizzard during the coldest winter on record (always below zero).

Its not only the US and Britain, there has been flooding in Italy and record breaking heat in Australia too, there is definitely something funny going on with global weather?

I had forgotten how horrible it's been in Australia and didn't know about Italy. Yes, something funny is going on for sure. Could be natural or could be what people have done to the earth.
We had terrible ocean flooding all last winter where I live and I didn't think it could be worse but this winter surpasses all. Not so much flooding but the weeks of below zero and so much snow that there's no place to put it anymore. That picture of the flooded river is just............sad.
