Fire Danger Season Dates .. http://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/site/fire_restrictions/fire_danger_season_dates.jsp .. looks we are in for a 4 month fire season .. i just heard a guy say "it is not unusual to have fires this time of year, but the intensity of these" is out of the box .. strong and gusty hot northwesterly ..
just heard 88 fires in NSW and a huge one just over the border in Victoria .. in NSW "it's as bad as it gets" .. damn! .. oh .. more than 90 he just said .. 30 or 40 start each night from lightening strikes ..
just heard 50 homes destroyed .. the one i mentioned just earlier must have been for the fire they were talking about .. one now .. 90km .. 3 km fighting front .. earlier i heard one moving at 60km/h .. now i hear 170 fires NSW .. 50 out of control .. going out to watch it with company .. gawd .. now, Tasmania in the grip .. 1 dead ..
