EMERGENCY WARNING FOR A BUSHFIRE BURNING UNDER SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
CFS advises that a serious bushfire is burning out of control at Sampson Flat in the Mount Lofty Ranges near One Tree Hill, Humbug Scrub, Millbrook Reservoir, Kersbrook, Gumeracha, Birdwood and Mount Crawford Forrest.
The SAMPSON FLAT fire is travelling in a very erratic manner and is burning freely in all direction towards Upper Hermitage, Chain of Ponds, the Warren and Cromer areas and the Townships of Inglewood, Houghton, Cuddlee Creek, Lower Hermitage, Forreston, Lobethal, Mount Torrens, Charleston, Williamstown, Woodside, Lenswood, Mt Pleasant. There is a risk to lives and homes.
The uncontrolled fire is burning in Scrub.
Check and follow your bushfire survival plan. Take shelter when the fire arrives and protect yourself from the fires heat.
Only leave now if the path is clear to a safe place.
You should not enter this area as the roads may not be safe.
Well prepared and actively defended homes can offer safety.
Stay tuned to this radio station on a battery-powered radio for updates.
For information about bushfires, check the CFS website www.cfs.sa.gov.au or call the Bushfire Information Hotline on 1300 362 361.
Repeating, CFS advises that a serious bushfire is burning out of control at Sampson Flat in the Mount Lofty Ranges near One Tree Hill, Humbug Scrub, Millbrook Reservoir, Kersbrook, Gumeracha, Birdwood and Mount Crawford Forrest.

Probably worried about nothing, folks in Williamstown not replying to texts are answering their phones at the moment

Edit - relief, still ok, but packed up just in case

any news? getting better? i live near the beach and yesterday around 4 a cool (cooler) breeze came through and a tiny spatter of raindrops, and i hoped it would give you guys and gals a hand...

Amusing Diversion:

woke up half an hour ago. had a dream the AFC BF crowd had chartered a bus to go to the Round 20 essendon game, and i was driving, Drugs Are Bad Mackay? was at the front of the bus looking out the window as we tried to work out where we were, i was driving but i couldn't get my iphone to gps me how to get to Bendigo, and i couldn't find it on any maps. i woke up as we passed the Elephant & Wheelbarrow on Torrens Rd (which had a humungous bridge over it). Elite Crow was there and was a woman (?). there were lots of people on the bus. very strange, and i kept thinking, we shouldn't have waited until round 18 to organise this. the game isn't even in Bendigo, it's at Etihad. Moral of the Story: Just Say No.

Nearly happened to us too. Trees are all over the place, constantly falling over main roads etc. Didn't actually hear about any specific incidents.

Didn't see any interstaters.

Driving through the burnt area last night put into perspective just how massive it is. Going along main roads for a good hour, and everything left and right is just embers. Seeing the gutted houses is just shattering.

The amount of donated food up at staging area has restored a bit of faith in humanity - amazing community effort there. Well done to anyone who donated.

One thing's for sure, this is going to go for quite a while yet.
