mikea is of the opinion:
We slept with the ham rig turned on and listening to our local repeater,
Just In Case. We had no fires closer than 7 miles, but they were
directly upwind, and 7 miles isn't much time with winds like those.
7 miles is "if you're not out of the way now, you're screwed" territory, if
it's all combustible between you and the flame front.
Its a bad time -- maybe not so bad as the .au fires a few years back,
but certainly bad enough.
s/years/months/; people are still living in tents from the latest Victorian
unpleasantness. Pray it doesn't get within spitting distance of that
tragedy.
I hope you and yours stay safe and out of harm's way, and if any of these
were deliberately lit, I hope they find the culprits and apply the full
weight of the law to them.
