Just saw that too - they are worried about a big one between Beachworth and Myrtleford. Seems while others are out of control - they are looking reasonable. Talk of 100 fires yesterday.
More dead than Ash Wednesday.
Some are calling it Red Saturday.
3000 - 3500 Firefighters are on the job, the majority are volunteers, one who lost his wife and child while he was fighting the fire in the town.
People talking about it raining fire, got so dark that solar lights were coming on. Some firefighters watching a front come through said that they could hear the trees exploding in a nearby pine plantation - then they knew they had to move.
Sounds like NSW is copping it too Kev.
And further North in Queensland - there is mass flooding...
Crazy!
