From the ABC:
Bushfires as 'powerful as atomic bombs'
The Royal Commission into Victoria's Black Saturday bushfires has heard the fires were as powerful as 1,500 atomic bombs the size of the one dropped on Hiroshima.
Fire ecologist, Dr Kevin Tolhurst from the University of Melbourne prepared a report for the commission that mapped the progression and severity of the February 7th fires.
His report found the fires gave off the energy equivalent to that used by Victoria in one year.
