Message received on my mobile phone this morning:
Bushfire Emergency Warning from CFA.
Maiden Gully and surrounding areas.
Seek shelter now.
Check local radio or www.cfa.vic.gov.au
That definitely got my attention!
Apparently we are in the ' surrounding ' area, hence our inclusion in the message delivery.
As I frantically told my half asleep brain to cancel all plans to take a nap, we turned on the local radio and were just in time to hear the announcer giving out the news that this particular fire was now under control and that we could stay put after all. Whew! Spent the rest of the day on high alert.
All clear here but other parts of the state have fires burning and reports are coming in of stock and property losses. Wonder what the cold light of day will show tomorrow.
