The Scariest Day of my Life | Australian Bushfires 2020 | NYE 2019 

This looks like a horror movie but the difference is that this is actually real.

When she said “what are you doing out here little guy, it’s the end of the world you gotta get outta here” that hit different - thank you for the likes !

imagine all the animals that don‘t know what‘s going on, searching for something to eat or drink and cant find anything or anyone because everyone is away... this is so heartbreaking i am soooo sorry for everyone that went through this.. the world is here for you australia 💔❤️

They really played Bad Moon Rising on the radio lmfao. Someone has a dark sense of humor

This looks like the end of the world.

the fact that she went so slow and didn't leave straight away stressed me out so bad

When she turned down the exposure and you see what it actually looks like: 🤯

“People are driving like it’s the end of the world” Fast forward a few hours. Driving like it’s the end of the world* 😅

If you see any animals get a blanket or towel and wrap them in it and take them in your car .please save the animals and the population

This is so horrible, I really can’t believe my eyes.

This is terrifying; the world is dying right in front of our eyes and we can’t do much about it

The 1.4k dislikes are from the people who couldn’t see through their tears

These fires aren’t a joke anymore. I literally gasped when the whole sky was bright orange. What people and kids must be thinking when this is happening, all the animals too. All the brave firefighters risking their lives are amazing, they are truly heroes. This is so sad. I’m glad a lot of people are safe❤️❤️ (Thanks for all the likes!!! I never have gotten so much before💛💛😘)

i’m barely 5 minutes in, and i’m having a panic attack while she’s acting so calm. if you live in australia, i’m so sorry. pls try and stay safe

I love how calm and positive she’s trying to be about this whole situation 🥺 But I feel so bad for the people in Australia I wanna help them so bad :(

2019: fires 2020: caronavirus This is just sad. End of the world fore sure.

The scariest of all: thats NOT a filter... *edit:* i’ve never had so much likes before... 😮

Just imagine how the kids who have no idea what’s happening feel, or being a parent and trying to stay calm for you children

And I’m over here in England complaining about the rain...

2019: I was the worst year. 2020: Hold my germs.

When she said : all I want is my family Me: Crying for her family

I can only imagine how it felt being around all that fire...a feeling of being trapped, feeling sooo alone , the strength that comes from this is a blessing.

I need to address the comments that are saying how irresponsible it was that she didn’t leave and get out sooner. Yes, the message that has been spread surrounding dealing with bushfires is to leave. And yes that message has been effective in saving lives. It was not a bad decision that she chose to stay. It would’ve been advised from the CFA to stay near the water. She did the right thing. I was caught up in the Mallacoota fires and we were advised to stay because of our proximity to water and the roads were deemed unsafe to travel. Please stop shaming her. Whether you choose to leave or choose to stay, the fire brings anxiety, devastation and grievance for people, animals and beautiful land. Please have compassion, please grieve with us and please help us rebuild.

My heart breaks for everyone experiencing this. It hurts to hear the panic in your voice 😭💔🙏🏼✝️

Seeing all these people with their animals at the beach broke my heart... I'm sure many people weren't able to save their pets and beloved animals...

Hearing her say “come on clay” with so much anxiety and sadness just hurt me so much

As an Australian. These fires have been pretty scary and it seems the more you track them the scarier it gets.This video is confronting but I’m glad you uploaded it as it really shows people what yourself and others are going through and the firefighters. Glad you guys got out and you are safe.

I live in Norway, and even though I have heard of these fires daily, I have had such a hard time imagining what's really going on. So far away, it seems so surreal, and even after looking at all the photos, I can't wrap my mind around what is actually going on. This video definitely helped me understand, and see a bit better what Australia has been going through. I'm so glad you're okay 💕

I can’t even imagine how scary it must be to be the fire fighters. They are constantly around people who are panicking and having to see thousands of dead animals, whilst knowing that they are fighting a losing battle. It’s so sad.

"Its too late to leave" That is the scariest sentence to hear Also all those fiery embers flying everywhere!!

Hi Tori, A little tip from a former firefighter: Don't put all the water on the fire at once, because it won't land on top of the fire. Instead: Small splashes of water. Also, if you ever got so unlucky that find yourself in a house fire, you must get out of the house ASAP. For every 60 seconds a fire doubles in size. Don't try - In an enclosed space - to think that you can pass a small patch of fire., because you probably won't survive getting to a door just a few meter away due carbon monoxide, and cyanide poisoning. 1 breath of that and you're dead! Hitler's henchmen used cyanide in his extermination camps - it's that dangerous - kills in a few seconds.

2020: Australia Fire, Volcanic Eruptions, earthquakes, Brewing world war 3, Kobe Bryant’s death. You think this is scary enough? Im not done yet! ......releases Corona Virus

wow, watching this really makes me realize how small my problems actually are.

I’m sad that I’m born in a generation where the world is dying right before our eyes

It’s so interesting to see someone’s experience being so close to the bushfire, in comparison to myself, getting the smoke reach us but not the fire. I couldn’t have imagined what it would have been like for someone being so close to it, footsteps, literally. That looks like a horror movie... it’s so scary. I’m glad you guys are okay. I’m glad everyone is okay.

wow... that's like a nightmare in real life... I'm praying for Australia. I can't believe you have to go through this, it makes my heart break.

Omg It is like scenes from a movie... Can’t believe it. God bless the firefighters please! They are the real hero’s in this whole disaster

If I were to get a warning I would literally leave in 20min

My class has donated and is raising money for the Australian bushfires. Hope everything goes well x

Seeing the birds in your yard and then the families, horses, dogs barking at the beach made me cry. I have a really soft heart for any animal so the thought of knowing that millions of wildlife was just killled by the burning flames. And who knows how many people probably left their pets behind... I’m shaking just typing and thinking about this... I’m gonna cry again!

I’m glad someone documented this. I wanted to know what people in Australia are going through right now. You are so brave. Thank you for this. Edit: Holy shit I didn’t expect to get this many likes. Thank you. ❤️

I can’t even believe when she said she was only able to lift her suitcase into her car out of pure terror... i didnt mean that she isnt strong enough to lift it i meant that i cant believe she was in so much shock and fear that she was only able to in the moment. im trying to say that its crazy the amount of mental drain that kind of experience can have on a person, sorry if this was misunderstood by some people because i did not mean it like that in any way 😭❤️ edit: wow, thanks for all the likes i was not expecting this ❤️

We lost our house we only had 2 minutes to leave, :( hope you are okay

Man Tori, that must be horrible to go threw. I can’t Imagine how you feel right now or how you felt. I’m so sorry that, that has been Happening. I love you so much! Be safe not sorry( please remeber that saying) XoXoXo

This is why you don’t leave it to the last minute to leave. It’s so dangerous to play with your life.

i love how she was calling the firefighters “absolute angels”, most of the time old women would be mad that they were late... shes thankful thoo

i live in america never had a fire at school we talk about australia and how lucky we are we have sent letters and water money and food

As a volunteer firefighter in NZ you guys did so well , you stayed calm stuck together and supported each other.

Who else kept yelling “GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT” I started yelling that from the beginning

The doggies and horses on the beach with all ‘ em kids. That looked unreal....

Maybe I'm a bit late, but I just wanted to say a few words. My happiness that you guys are alright is beyond measurable. It's the first time I see you, on this vlog, but I felt attached to you from the moment the video started. You have a heart of an angel. Seeing people evacuate and drive like crazy literally looked like a shot taken out of post-apo movie. Also, what you did might not be the brightest thing to do, but I think you shouldn't blame yourself for that. I haven't gone through the awful things you did (as showed in the video) but I think I can understand you in that term as you were so calm, but still knew what was happening. It's a coping mechanism that isn't very good, but it is how it is. Sometimes you realize that "it is the end of the world", but can't process it and it doesn't get to you. I love how people didn't forget of their animal friends, because unlike human species, they aren't as understanding of what is happening, don't have the opportunity to move so fast (as we have cars) and they don't know about the danger that early (as you received the warning that morning). And I have to say, I had the chills half of the video. When you showed how dark it really was, it hit me. But when you had to put down the fire near the car, I felt that. Same when you were worried for Clay, as you didn't see him driving behind you at first. And the moment I saw the fire surrounding you I started crying. In theory I knew you are fine, because the video was much longer, but I was so scared that you would drive into fire, because how little you could see from smoke, that I couldn't look at it. And last, but not least: Thanks to all people who tried their best to rescue wildlife, to firefighters (angels and literal legends) and thank you, Tori, for recording this video and publishing it. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you to go through all of this again, but as a European, I realized what it really was, as media don't show it like you did. The Earth is about to die, and Australia is standing in fire showing us what will happen if we don't take care of our planet now.

I’m praying for you and all of Australia please stay safe!❤️❤️ Also this was such a interesting vlog I didn’t skip a second of this video❤️

Imagine being able to stay this calm when a fire is literally engulfing your whole country

As scary and traumatic as this is, thank you for having the courage to document it. It really gives a personal point of view you don't see on the news. I'm praying for you.

Man it’s so creepy how everything is just Orange like omg I would be so afraid

this video needs to be on tv for everyone to see, a lot of people dont care that australia is on fire. its completely devastating! imagine losing everything. please stay safe. 💕

that was something from an end of the world movie holy shit - girl im happy you're safe! so so scary

i’m from the US and i didn’t NOT realize that it was this serious and this scary until i saw this video

This is so incredibly saddening and I’m trying not to cry because this is so hard to watch the world end before our eyes knowing it’s our fault. I hope you and everyone else there is doing ok and getting safe.

Omg, I love how calm you are. You go girl, Wish you the best.. I hope we can spread awareness. We Love You.

It looks like hell on earth

This is crazy I couldn’t imagine seeing all this in person.

This video keeps being recommended to me..I've watched it a few times since it was uploaded. Wow an amazing vlog for sure. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏

2020: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA WE NOT STOPPING THERE Coronavirus has entered the chat

This video is underestimated in what it’s doing for the fires it is spreading awareness to those who joke after a billion animals have died and so many families have been destroyed, hopefully this encourages more donations and thank you for this video

I seriously love that people had their horses and dogs on the beach with them.

honestly it’s breaking my heart that some people’s childhood homes can just be destroyed like that. if people still think that there’s nothing wrong, they need to open their eyes. thoughts and prayers to you 💕

It's so scary how you can see how orange and red it gets throughout the whole video. I'm so glad I dont have to go through that.. I'm so sorry.

the fact that in the fire app the fire’s path was right next to the zoo breaks my heart, I don’t think they’ll have enough time to evacuate all those animals to a safe place since literally all of Australia is on fire, my prayers and respect go out to all the firefighters and the people who are in danger of losing their homes or already have, can’t imagine what that is like I hope everyone is okay & that everything turns out okay ❤️

I feel so guilty being the other side of the world in England having it raining all the time, I feel for every single family going through this!😭 I hope the Weather forecast is right, I’ve heard it’s going to rain and Monday🤞!!! 🌧

This is so heart breaking ...all the people and animals on the beach. 🙏🏽💕 prayers!

I was talking to my friends about the situation Australia is going threw and I can’t even imagine what you guys feel. I live in the Los Angeles area in California and the fires here aren’t as scary and devastating as the ones you’re experiencing. Hope things get better out there for you guys, much love from the US.

Never ignore an emergency warning. These fires aren`t the old-style fires anymore they move rapidly, generate their own wind systems (pyrocumulus clouds) and have ember attacks which travel 20km ahead of the firefront. Glad you are ok!

when the "just chill" transformed into a not so chill situation. scary, don't chill about bushfires. they might seem not impressive or dangerous but they sure are.

I'm learning about this in school right now, and my teachers have told my class that we're going to send stuff over, like supplies, to australia to help out.

I am praying for you, your town, nearby towns, and all of Australia at this point... I’m praying that you and others are all okay :( my heart was pounding just watching this from the other side of the world

She talks so softly I’m thinking “do people talk this quiet in their house ??? When they’re alone”

“What u doing little guy .it’s the end of the world get outa here” I’m dead 😭😭

I'm glad you guys are OK.. This is the first video I have watched of yours and It was intense watch to say the least. Stay safe hope everything is going OK with yous. Subscribed, least I could do with all yous went through ❤️

stay safe , I hope everyone’s okay !! this breaks my heart 💔

I was crying the second I heard a dog bark, animals must be so confused and the people with their horses :'( I hope your ok and I pray everyone is safe

In Spain we are having one of the worst wind/rain storms, closed schools, towns getting flooded, train lines destroyed... It does feel like the world is finally at its last straw!

I am so sorry you had to witness this. Stay strong❤️sending love and prayers to you and loved ones.

Tori Clarke I know that bushfires have finished by now but I would like to say I’m so glad that you’re still alive and I was in a bushfire too and Australia has a really terrible NYE😔😔

This is so terrifying to watch. Seeing the horses on the beach didn’t help; I love horses alot and so lost it there completely. Hope you’re all good and safe!

"i feel like i should have a mask on"... just to leave the house. let that sink in.

Oh my goodness i feel so bad for you guys and everyone else effected! I hope you guys are ok now! Sending my prayers for everyone currently in effected areas i really hope it stops soon xx

I've always felt bad for everyone who has an experience like this but seeing it, I am so sorry and I am praying for you guys and everyone else. it's hard too lose your home other things

A week ago it was half a billion animals dead. Now it’s estimated OVER ONE BILLION ANIMALS HAVE DIED! I’m knitting blankets and sending them to Australia Red Cross all over the country. I live in England, so it’s all I can do. It will take about 5-14 days to get there though. If you have about £3 spare, you can buy a blanket and send it away to Australia to help an animal. Don’t give me hate for saying this, because it’s just an idea for people around the world who have a lot of money to use towards donations.

It literally looks like the end of the world. Oh no.. Stay safe everyone living close to the fires ❤️

The fact you were brave enough to record this is amazing

Stay safe and I love how u said to the firefighters “absolute angels” stay safe

It’s actually crazy how fast this happened. Like within a matter of hours people lost their houses

What broke my heart the most was all the people brought their animals on too the beach to try to keep them safe it just makes you think how much pain and sadness these people are going through. Losing their homes and family, friends, pets. It’s honestly horrific 😭

My prayers for you, and all the others near the Bush fires. Really hope your safe🙌❤

This is heartbreaking. I live in Sweden but watching this is giving me chills.. In tears..

i can’t imagine what it’d be like to go through this. this looks so terrifying. it’s like hell on earth.

Just imagine looking out the window and it’s literally orange almost red I would literally sh*t myself 💀 Where the hell did these likes come from.👀

The fire fighters that have been working tirelessly to help people and animals deserve so much x I wish I could be out there helping too :( sending my prayers to Australia and anyone affected by the fires

People have to stop saying its the end of the world. We have to be thankfull to what's happening. Omg thanks for the heart ❤️
