The hottest February day in recorded history here in Melbourne.Not only stinking hot but also a northerly wind coming straight from the central land mass that brought with it so much soil dust that at times reached 80 kms an hour!.
Also the whole sky was just filled with smoke all day.
The change eventually came through and tomorrow looks like being a much cooler day.
Thank god!
UPDATE:Fourteen killed in Kinglake ( which has been completely wiped out), Wandong, Strathewen and Clonbinane, northwest of Melbourne.
More than 60 houses reported to be lost.
At least 30,000 hectares burnt out, started around 4km east of Kilmore and winds pushed it 30km to the east through Whittlesea, Wandong and into Kinglake. Was also threatening Broadford late Saturday night.
There are reports just in that it is feared that the death toll could be as high as 40.
