There is a catastrophic fire danger alert in place for parts of South Australia tomorrow. It's the first outing for the new fire warning, which is explained in the PSAs along the lines of 'Leave immediately, or you may die.'. It will be 39 degrees C, !00F, which is part of a month of record heatwave conditions for the state. It's still SPRING. Summer looks horribly grim.

I'm so worried about this every time I think about it. :( It's one of the only things I hate about living in Australia, you're always on edge in summer. I've been lucky, I've never been right in the middle of one of the really bad fires (I moved away from Canberra a month before the 2003 fires) but to be constantly worried about friends and family who are? It's horrible.

I just hope we don't see anything like Victoria last summer. :(
