Winds fan ferocious fires in Australia's most populous state

A National Parks and Wildlife crew member fights flames at Half Chain road at Koorainghat, near Taree in New South Wales state Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2019. Hundreds of schools remained closed across Australia's most populous state on Tuesday, Nov. 12, and residents were urged to evacuate woodlands for the relative safety of city centers as authorities braced for extreme fire danger.

A catastrophic fire warning was in place for Sydney, Australia’s largest city, where a large blaze threatened homes on Tuesday afternoon in northern suburban Turramurra, 17 kilometers from the city’s downtown area. “We’ve got very tight, winding roads into a lot of these areas, which is why we talked about leaving early as the safest option,” Fitzsimmons told reporters.

“It is too late to leave on most of these fires and sheltering is now your only option as fire approaches,” Fitzsimmons said. Alison Johnson said she’d stay as long as she could in the village of Nana Glen to protect her business, the Idle Inn Cafe, from embers that can carry 30 kilometers ahead of the fire front.

Terrible, all these fires

Also Monday was the first day in recorded history that no rain fell in the whole country, that's a size slightly smaller than the contiguous United States.

Australian state declares emergency, faces 'catastrophic' fire dangerAustralia's most populous state declared a state of emergency as dozes of fires ravage the countryside with authorities warning of “catastrophic” fire risk — the highest level of bush fire danger. Hopefully ScottMorrisonMP thoughts and prayers will save us all! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I wonder how long it will be before Trump tells them to start raking? 😩 If you are not worried about climatechange you really are not paying attention. In fact to not be worried you have to be either in a secure bunker or in total denial.
