Took this pic from Red Hill at about 5pm. That looks like a fire storm cloud to me.

It is. Mum decided to evacuate Gordon before the order comes. It's scary down there.

Conder, Banks and Gordon on standby to evacuate, apparently. My mum got out before the rush, there's only one way out with Tharwa Road blocked. Don't think it would be worth trying Tidbinbilla Road.

People on FB weather watchers groups are saying it's causing its own lightning storm

That's the concern, ala 2003 where it created more fires and more storms

It was already a fire storm at 5pm, I think... that's what that cloud was in my pic above. It's a huge concern.

Is this down at Banks/Tharwa way? I'm in Kambah and it doesn't look good - looking straight down towards Kambah pool.

I grew up in Theodore and can remember many a small fire in the reserve behind our house. But absolutely nothing like these. I hope everyone down there stays safe.

Fire warning reduced to "advice"... but in the last hour or so, there is an orange glow over Canberra, as smoke haze thickens.

Ash now falling at my place in inner south Canberra...

It cost me $985 to cut off some monster branches that were hanging over the house.

It's costing $4000 to have it removed...

That's right !!!!
