Fires in NSW

[Paul]

I have had to evacuate my house under the advice from the Rural Fire Service. We had temps all over topping 40 degrees but also strong winds which is a bad combination.

I have gone 400kms west, doing some work out here so works well for me.

This is the latest map of the area.

Take care Paul, it looks nasty on the news reports. Fingers crossed the fires stop soon.

I've been talking to the guys I know in Aus:
-Friend in VIC nr Ballarat had all the traffic diverted onto the road he uses on his way home
-Friends in ACT/NSW nr Yass have moved all their cars into the middle of short paddocks or loaded onto trailers ready to move
-Friend in TAS thinks he's lost a load of cars (and parts) stored at a friend's shack in the SE corner
-Friend in NSW nr Lithgow (good 4wding there...) is about 10km from some of it depending on home/work

Keep safe, and look after everyone!
