Burning...

Ah shit...

Everything smells of smoke again.

This one's about a half hour drive from my house, in a pretty place I like to go walking.

I've been on the road for the last couple of days. It's so dry out there. So dry. I've never seen fire weather this bad.

I've driven through 2 of the last fire zones recently. I'm used to bushfire, but I've never seen anything like this before. I've never seen a fire burn so hot. In places there's just nothing left.

How long until it finally starts to rain again?

Everything is burning, everywhere. Over 80 000 ha of my beloved Island is fire and ash, and now the fire weather is wreaking havoc on the Mainland too.

I just want it to stop. I want it to rain. I want to know my Uncle and Aunt, trapped on the Tasman Peninsula and uncontactable, are ok.

I want everything to stop smelling of smoke and my stupid lizard brain to stop registering a state of high alert in response.
