FFS Facebook, I don't need random paranoid parents posts in my timeline.

You give me these, I am giving them

Here are the Walwa and Longwood line scans (as of 3:30pm 10 Jan) to give you an idea of the scale of the fires when overlaid on the base Melbourne map.

Yikes!

"The facts are clear and well established. Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time."

That this statement exists show we are in the dumbest timeline.

Restart the LHC and lets try again.

Wind is still being sketchy.

Fires can not read so are entering places they shouldn't despite all the signs saying it is a TFB across the State.

Morning #MelbWeather and #VicFires people.

It's much cooler this morning (19.3c) and you think, I should open the house up and let some cool fresh air in.

Well... that is where the bad new starts.

The air is laden with smoke, so don't.

It will be a few days before the cost of yesterday is known

I am going to guess this is when this Weather Station caught fire.

It will take a few days for impact assessment teams to tell the real toll of today. It will take weeks for today to be over.

Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Good News... nope got none.
Bad News... oh that I have got it spades.

Major band of dry lightning moving through Victoria across very dry country.

As the old saying goes, this ain't over my a country mile.

7pm Sit Rep.

The predictions were for a bad day. It will be going for many days yet, today is very much not over

Situation is very dynamic, the cool change will help after it does a lot of hindering.

State Wide Community Information message has been issued for smoke.

You will see or smell smoke in parts of Victoria.

Smoke and ash from fires in the landscape may drift to far-reaching areas away from the fires.

When I said today was going to be like Black Saturday, I didn't want it to literally hit the same places.

Yikes.

And the change is on the Radar coming into the bay.

When it reaches fire grounds later, it makes things worser not betters.

Total unplanned customers off supply, 25,000

Which means tens of thousands more people than that are dealing with the heat without aircon.
