heatherbrae fire was reported started as a controlled burn this mornin',  got away from 'em, burned up to williamtown raaf base,

over to raymond terrace.   

Please, please be safe everyone. Those fires are terrible and so many houses lost. Who knows how many people?

 

We were having pouring rain and hailstorms here, and as I watched it all, I prayed that the fierce winds would blow the rain to the fire areas. The extremes of weather is unbelievable. Unfortunately we can not controll nature.

I hope the situation is easing with the wind change tonight and have my fingers crossed that the loss of property won't be in the hundreds. It's a stark reminder of what all states face this summer, and yes we are certainly getting some pretty diverse and extreme weather conditions ATM

Yes sun was shinning in Melbourne when suddenly hail for 1 minute while the sun was still out.

 

Fire is so dangerous/destructive and not to be taken lightly.
