Social Media Hack, Emergency Management stuff and I have a set of Twins that even groan at how bad my Dad jokes are.
Heads up #MelbWeather Folks.

40c in bound on Saturday.

Yeah, thanks Facebook Memories... I was right though.

Buckle up folks, year 2 is going to be worser than year 1.

YIKES.

Mildura is about to cook.

Looks like a sea breeze will help #MelbWeather with the worst of it, but we are not out of the woods yet.

Also remember inland will be hot this weekend.

Have contingency plans if you are going away for the long weekend.

Do love me a good Earthquake.

And yes I had the tabs open already :-)

Google Maps and Tasmania would like a word....

Unless the name is shown in the show, my statement stands.

If it does, well, fuck there goes my argument, but I am not watching decades of a show to check if I was right.

And in finally good news news.

The Longwood fire has been downgraded to an Advice Level Warning.

"The grassfire and bushfire that started from Fogartys Gap Road, Ravenswood South is under control."

America you were so close in in 1810 to have stopped what is happening right now.

For those that love Slow TV, it doesn't get much slower than a Space Launch System rocket coming out of the assembly building...

Well I have a medal that Trump will never get.

It is one for actually doing something as well.

Yikes...

This from a local Facebook Group

Geolocation: Cumberland River Bridge.
January 15, 2026 at 4:42 AM
And in unsurprising news...

The Great Ocean Road is closed.

From: Skenes Creek Road, Skenes Creek
To: Hird Street, Ocean Road S, Lorne

This closure is under the control of emergency services and the road will re-open only when it's safe to do so.
January 15, 2026 at 4:13 AM
Yikes.

Not fire this time, flash flood from storms on The Great Ocean Road.

At Mt Cowley, a short distance away, more than 105 millimeters of rain was recorded in just three hours to 1pm.

Interesting...

Sometimes it is who is leaving on the flight with no listed destination that turns out to be the real story.

Also note the sun is about to rise in Tehran.
January 15, 2026 at 2:48 AM
Well, shit went sideways again.

Reports Iran closed its airspace.

Week 3 of 2026 is going to be an absolute shit show, and that is compared to week 1 and 2 which were a shit show.

And of course, we have outliers on the #eqnz that felt and extreme earthquake for a 25km deep 4.6 quake.
January 13, 2026 at 10:32 AM
Some people don't care if they burn down the whole situation, as long as they get to silence voices they don't like.

The board should hang their heads in shame, for not only caving, but to the fact they didn't seem to see this coming at all.

Amazing effort from the folks on the ground and behind the scenes.

Not out of the woods yet, and yes the big fires will burn for a lot longer.

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

You give me these, I am giving them

This is how your reply appeared in my timeline...

My 14 year old brain read it is of course come on back can be the result of pulling out.

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!

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.
