@Stezza- yeah Saturday is the day. My husband was talking to a chief fire officer at Albatross Naval Base tonight- he said they expect winds of over 80KM winds from the West on Saturday. Not good for our areas, mine or yours. Culburra Beach got evacuated of tourist and visitors this afternoon, so I expect Huskinson or Vincentia areas would have been the same, and they are real busy this time of the year.
My son and his mate have been visiting here and as he is a real Techie, we have been listening to the app scanner too and keeping track on Fires Near You. We were listening when that fire truck went through the flash fire two days ago at Bruxton, and we heard the fear in their voices.
I was talking to a man who was down south near Batlow, he said the fire was so huge-even all the American Army and Airforce would have been hard pressed to fight this fire. The Firies told him only steam was coming out of their hoses. He looked at his hose, the fire then said to his dog-get in the Ute, we are outta here and he still doesn't know the fate of his house.
It is so awful - I really fear tomorrow, so packed up. Our road in will probably get cut so we have decided out fire plan is to take to the river in our boat and head out to sea. I am taking my external hard drives where all my files etc are, the computer is too big.
Too many embers to try and save the house if all this eventuates- it is not looking good, Stay safe Stezza
