Hope everyone makes out ok.
Forecasts are not good.
So many homes lost already.
Stay safe folks!

    Stay safe down under.  :pray

The 190-mile wide blaze was burning near the town of Lithgow, in the Blue Mountains region. A second smaller fire was directly to its south and a third fire was raging to the southeast.

This third fire is “on the doorstep” of Sydney, burning near the suburb of Springwood. If this fire merges with the other two -- forming a “mega-fire” -- officials are worried their chances of containing the blaze will be severely reduced.
