Just told the internet is going down and phone services will be lost.
So much for mobile phone services being reliable.
The sky is grey with smoke haze and a light wind from the south.
Earlier today the wind changed direction and the wind went to 100/kph in seconds and embers came from the skies. The wind was gusting and changing direction by the second. Then came the thunder and rain that came down as mud balls. The ground dried up in seconds and the wind slowed and came from the south.
This is not climate change it is muddy rain which I have never seen before in my life.
The main trouble is all the government is broken bureaucrats and politicians are broken.
Just spoke to a firefighter from Victoria and he is no longer a serving fire fighter and they will not let him help along with my self who went threw black Friday fires in Wollongong in 1967.
