The Woy Woy fire is expected to head towards Umina and Pearl Beach in the next few hours. Some fire vehicles have already been destroyed in this.
The southerly change is not expected through Sydney and northwards until at least 10pm.

Take care over there.
One of my neighbours - a fire station "commander" - reckons they are extremely concerned over this one - particularly for Pearl Beach and Patonga - although Umina is also at major risk. He says they are having great difficulty containing it - even with the helicopter "bombers" that you can see.
Evacuations are going on at the moment - keep a listen out - and good luck.

Well, that was quite incredible. One second i'm wallowing in the pool to escape the furnace and within about 10 seconds this wonderful cold wind blows right through me!! I see a storm coming now. Some sheet lightening about. What a relief
