HansO, Chicken Little says - Yep the sky is burnin' and no sight of Midnight Oil either!

I am 150 km East of Batemans Bay and the wind has changed back and filled our house here in Canberra again. It is literally so thick it is worse than any a smoky poker den just looking across my non smoking parents lounge room upstairs.

Official weather station report nearby states visability is down to 200 metres.
I think that you should be safe from the bush fires 150 km east of Bateman's Bay.
 
Awful to read about. A recent report says the government is bringing in the military.

A local friend and his wife had been for years looking forward to visiting her sister in Oz and arrived just as the fires were spreading. My friend said they were in the thick of it, that it was heartbreaking to see.

Yeah, no concerns about fire here at the moment but Canberra has been much closer to the still burning fires around Braidwood and Majors Creek in the past month or so. There is so much smoke over eastern Oz at the moment with it being blown from one state and area to another without fully clearing.

Our suburban house here was burnt down with another 500 houses back in the 2003 bushfires that entered the suburbs so we know how the 1000 plus new ex-home owners are feeling since this years fires started.
 
Massive currents of smoke from Australian fires reach New Zealand

Got up this morning to this.

Entire sky covered with high altitude smoke.

Link above has images from space showing the size of the some cloud heading out way.

Looks like it will last a few days!

Never seen them in concert, though. They never come near enough. But if they did....!!!

Been keeping track of the fires out there. We get them lots around where I live, but not at that magnitude. Prayers for all life.
