You may have seen my post from earlier in the week about the bushfires burning around the state. They are all still burning and today, Friday is going to be very dangerous weather, hot, windy and the chance of lightning strikes. The main danger in such weather is embers being carried ahead of the main fires and starting new ones. The fire service says that in these conditions homes may not be defendable.
Naturally, I’ve been a bit distracted by all this and can’t really concentrate on writing. This morning I will probably be taking the pets and relocating to friends in Hobart for a day or so. If I am not able to update you I will ask Naomi to post something so you all know I am OK.
Wow, that looks dangerous. Stay safe!

Dennis I am probably going to “relocate” that’s what they call it before it becomes forced evacuation. Hopefully I will be home in a day or two but it is not looking good for our town right now.

Have been thinking of you, Vanda. I’m glad you’ve made the decision to evacuate.

David and I always agreed that we would pack the car and go if this happened. Now it’s just me and the pets and no car but good friends.

I live 2kms north of the town. My latest information is that there have been evacuations up the Arve Rd nearer to the fire. Many other townspeople have left voluntarily.
