High Fire Alert - Warburton Valley and surrounds

[Ginger]

i'm thinking of evacuating here (dandenong ranges) when ds wakes up, do you think i'm mad?

At this point there is no threat to houses. I'm glad everyone is getting out though, lots went last night. MIL is pretty stressed.

I do think you would be mad to go Rainy. There is no threat to you, short of a firebug, but you can actually get onto the CFA website and hear them despactching jobs (well sil did the other night), so you can hear it in the background. Also don't forget, the conditions are good for fires today, they were TOTALLY freaky 2 weeks ago, and thats not the same.
Keep checking for alert messages on the web though. xoxoxoxo

It's so weirdly stressful, like waiting for the other shoe to drop...

i'm in croydon for a little while, wanted to get out of the house and needed to get something for dinner anyway....will head back in a couple of hours.
i just don't feel comfortable. i hope we never ever have a day like that day again.

Eeeks the smoke from the fire at Lysterfield fire looks a lot closer than it is! Hope nobody is in danger there ATM
