They are now reporting 80 fires in Queensland! Funnily enough that's about the same number of current 'permit burns' that are currently authorised.

The commentary coming out from the authorities is that this an 'unprecedented' event and urging everyone to 'leave their homes' nd act with 'extreme caution' - how about a bit of fucking caution with lighting these fires in the first place!

And given they didn't do that, for God's sake put all those permit burns the fuck out immediately!

Weather conditions for tomorrow are not good - hot and windy

No major rain forecast - temps predicted to hit 43C here this coming Monday. It's already a disaster - but might be just getting started

Here's the screenshot from today from the rural fire authority site.
