Crikey it’s wet

[pmccarthy]

Wish it was wet now. Choppers and fires around us. Blowing a gale.

 A taste of HELL. Nev

I can’t believe choppers can fly in this wind.

Heading our way.

It's been so dry at my place since April that there is hardly anything in the paddocks to carry a fire. I'm even noticing that trees in the paddocks away from the creeks and gullies are starting to die.

Heat, visibility,  gusts and lack of Oxygen are a problem for Aircraft. It's easy to overstress the Aircraft and have insufficient LIFT and power. Nev

Stay SAFE. Easier said than done in this RAW Country. Top half Flooded. The rest burning.. Nev

Should change the thread name to Crikey it's Hot. Top temp today 42.9°, 44° at Tulla. They had to unload some cargo from some planes, they were too heavy for the heat.

Density altitude. Worse at Alice Springs where the runway is at 1100 ft asl. Nev

Dozens of houses lost in Harcourt and Sutton Grange, including my daughters. We are OK due to a wind change.
