Someone's sent me a pic of where the various fire vehicles are. I will find out where he is getting that info as that's pretty cool. Apparently a BlackHawk on the way too.

Bushfire.io is so good. I wish VicEmergency would make their map more customisable rather than an incoherent jumble of overlapping polygons and icons.

The Carlisle River #bushfire in the Otways rapid growth yesterday that has left #Melbourne blanketed in #smoke this morning. Seen by #Himawari-9 with heat signatures in red.

Forget about tinfoil hats!

Kudos to whoever thought of this. Hope it works.

The #Tooperang #bushfire near #MountCompass south of #Adelaide has ripped through more than 600 hectares.

The #CFS says the fire remains #uncontrolled, & is being battled by hundreds of #firefighters.

It says the full extent of property damage will become apparent throughout the day, but there are reports of at least one structure being impacted. #auspol #SApol #ClimateCrisis

The #Longwood #Bushfire is still not controlled btw (https://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/#!/warning/40332), over ten days now. Hope everyone in the area is still keeping an eye out!

"I’m so certain that it’s going to get worse that I just want to put my energy, my heart and soul into trying to make certain that I can protect communities and individuals, the built environment, the natural environment from these disasters that are coming because of climate change, because I know that’s the truth.”

Professor David Bowman knows. These conditions are new, they are caused by climate change, & we need to adapt.

The unprecedented is our new normal.
