Bush fires in the cityyyyy - I even made it rhyme!

But seriously though - Rural South Australia has been at catastrophic (red alert) level bushfire risk. Metropolitan (thats us) has a Severe risk (yellow alert) and with tropical typhoon Laurence heading our way tonight - it's been down graded, but still high winds are going to propel any fires. It's starting to cloud over, so I'm praying for rain. But just in case our bags our packed, kitty carriers ready and if we're upgraded before Brian gets home I'll start walking into town.

I don't scare easily, but I've got to admit, this scares me - and it's only the middle of the season.

How's it going Sarah?

I remember when we were in the Blue Mountains how they were on a red alert. The signs were posted on the snowflake sign posts (winter warnings for ice). It was 45 degrees when we were there going up to 55 degrees when we drove the bush road. WoyWoy had a bush fire and the Pacific Highway was closed, so we went the 'pretty way' to Brisbane.
