Getting it loud and clear here - it's very busy and they want the SET from OP mobilised firecall, and more BA people. They've got alot of houses under threat by the sound.

Listening to the police channel for the area, they are evacuating houses, setting up road blocks for a fairly big area....

Is it close by your place??
I hope it gets under control soon, to prevent any further losses!
Have my name down on the list to go out when it's quietened down a bit.

Close enough (3kms?) and it's large bush blocks between here and there - if it crosses Stoneville Rd it'll rip through here pretty quick, especially as the sea breeze seems to have finally made it up the hill...
