From Friday. Where are the graders and dozers building fire breaks? Expensive and largely inefficient water bombing is evident but why try to extinguish fires in hills and mountains where it is impossible to manage. Let the hills burn and burn back from breaks in accessible farm country.

Where are the firebreaks around buildings?

High impact weather lashes Victoria, igniting fires and leaving 500,000 without power.

A volatile weather pattern caused powerful winds and severe thunderstorms, which produced:

# A wind gust of 130 km/h at Mount Gellibrand shortly before midday, which is equivalent to a category two tropical cyclone
# Wind gusts of 126 km/h at Yarram Airport, 122 km/h at Avalon Airport, 119 km/h at Eildon Fire Tower, 117 km/h at Swan Hill, 115 km/h at Fawkner Beacon and102 km/h at Melbourne Airport
# 543,762 lightning strikes within a 600 km radius of Melbourne between 9am and 9pm AEDT on Tuesday
# Dry lightning that ignited new fires amid Extreme to Catastrophic fire danger ratings
# A massive squall line, which resulted in thunderstorms stretching roughly 1,500 km across parts of Vic, NSW, SA and Tasmania
# Large hailstones falling from fast-moving severe storms

Some of the lightning caused by Tuesday’s thunderstorms occurred with little to no rainfall, allowing these cloud-to-ground lightning strikes to ignite new fires.

8 thought on “Wildfires tear through Grampians in Victoria”
  1. All the usual (suspect) signs are visible, the sheeple will not see them.

    We do not have 7, 10, 100, 200 yeas to fix this mess.

    Old Army way for Sgt / Cpl to wake the sleeping soldiers.

    Sgt / Cpl shouting:
    Wakey Wakey, hands off snakey, on with socks, on with jocks.
    (Is often shortened to Wakey, Wakey)

    It is an abrupt way to suddenly remember where you are and to get back into reality
    and no slacking for the rest of the day, otherwise there would be consequences.

    How many abrupt shocks will it take to get the sheeple from sleepy dreamers, to awake
    realist?

  2. Sorry for being ignorant, but why this area? Is it to create food shortages as in US or get rid of landowners off their land or to prove climate change is real or is this area needed for wind and solar farms etc?

  3. Go to https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/
    type in Pomonal (VIC) in search window (top right of screen) ;
    go to bottom left and select button +Add Layers ;
    select FIRE AND THERMAL ANOMALIES ;
    tick check box ‘Fire and Thermal Anomalies (Day & Night) ;
    click back on map

    Try explain how fire patterns happen without human intervention

  4. Call me suspicious.
    Westerlies they say? That would be from South Australia where there hasn’t been a breath of wind for months.
    Trees burning from the inside, starting to become a common sight immediately after fires starting.
    After seeing an isolated Woolworths burn’t down including canned food, soft drink, fruits vegetables, yogurt milk all becoming flammable and burning?
    Bom and burn back better?
