FYP

Downgraded due to better weather conditions. 18 houses lost, though, and of course there are those who can no longer afford insurance with the cost of living skyrocketing.

I knew that would be your takeaway from that. I wouldn't worry. The heat has been so intense that no evidence is left behind.

Fuck's sake. Don't you know he's like Beetlejuice?

I mean, I wouldn't enjoy that particular fair ground ride, but why did he take so long to get in? Well done, Craney, though.

Although:

Beautifully summed up here 🙂

Government's fucked it?

They're not allowed to work?

If you mean Yanchep then it's another 35km north of here. It had a pretty bad fire itself a year or so ago. Apparently about 1700 hectares (no idea what that is in old money) gone.

Wind has started blowing the other way now (famous Fremantle Doctor for those who know their cricket), which is pushing it away but we are told it will take several days for it to be contained or controlled, never mind out. Apparently 10 house lost, as well as numerous sheds, caravans, etc. Wife's friend has lost his Christmas Tree farm, which is a bit rough at this time of year. Weather is okay for the next couple of days, but risk of thunderstorms at the weekend which could set off further fires in the dry undergrowth and then stronger winds again early next week. Not supposed to be in the fire season yet, but the helicopters are hard at it. Landing on the local football pitch to reload. Quite exciting when it is not particularly close.

Bit concerned today. The benefit of Oz is that it is hot. The downside of Oz is that it is hot. This is about 5 miles from our house, which is a bit worrying, with 40 degree heat and windy. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-23/bushfire-wanneroo-tapping-homes-razed-banksia-grove/103139376 Photos from last night

Walking down the road last night, I passed an apple pie, an ice cream sundae, and a lemon cheesecake. I thought “the streets are strangely desserted tonight.”

Yes, that's what I meant. 🙂

Of course you can. No one doubted it.
