made it through CATASTROPHE

[tielan]

We're good so far. Hot and exhausted from waiting all day, but good.

There was a fire sprang up <5km away (2.3 miles) where they were telling people "don't try to leave anymore, seek shelter", but the wind was going in the wrong direction for it to move towards us.

Sun's gone down, temperature's falling, but the wind's picked up from the south. There's always the danger of flying embers if a fire starts south of us. However, if there's a fire south of us that gets so out of control that we need to evacuate, it'll be right in the middle of Sydney and it'll have to cross a lot of major roads.

Not that it can't happen, but it's unlikely.

Haven’t been here for a while (my brother-in-law died suddenly far from Vermont in Colorado, and there has been a scramble and a return to normalcy curve) and I came back specifically to see if you were doing okay. I’m so horrified by what I see in the news and so relieved that you and yours are doing okay. Thank you for letting us know.
