Furthermore, this is what happens to an AWS when a fire approaches...

The Nowra fire this arvo. Another example of Pyrocumulous.

David Elliott needs PD to hold his hand? I'm sure Queenslanders would run with that.

I believe he was one of the first responders and is just taking time to recover

glad you are safe ... thanks for the info .... lets pray today doesn't get as bad as expected

what is your families plan if the fires come? To leave? Or try and fight it?

They didn't plan to fight it, just keeping an eye out for any embers that may land and start something.
They have moved away from the farm at Narooma into the Dalmeny House because there's at least running water there. There's easy escape from both places (short walk to the beach and from there easy access into town). There was a fire about 7kms from them at Kianga but reports are it has been put out, thank f**k for that. Apparently the southerly came through a little while ago, so for now just watching everything intently and waiting for any news.

Great news for your family T.S at this stage.
I hope it stays the same for the foreseeable future.
