Here's another image you might like to share with your other forum:

A bushfire & Tornado combined.

Imagine.........

Edit: This is a "small" & isolated fire. There's a likelihood that two bigger fires in NSW are going to suck each-other into one huge conflagration. I don't want to think of the consequences if that were to happen. It's the big ones that are the problem.

And the wind changes....

Yeah, it's been so dry I'm actually considering saving water from growing & keeping it for firefighting purposes instead.

Normally at this time of year, we're getting torrential downpours, but our tanks are down by about 30%.

the Kiwis would be a little pissed off
hey bro stop burning off in ya back yard (said like a kiwi)

interesting
because its super hot, it must be searching for the coldest air stream or something, and displacing the cold with hot

wonder if it'll get to antartica and have an impact there in days to come

I was a volunteer firefighter from 16-30 and junior member from 11-16. I’ve fought bush fires in 4 states. Plus a whole bunch of other shit.
Point being when your a firey you make light of situations like that because stressing helps no one. But civi’s don’t get it most of the time and it offends.

If your already fighting spot fires you’ve probably left it too late to evacuate.
