NSW is heading for a catastrophic day tomorrow

NSW is burning - more than ninety bushfires are burning across the state with twenty not under control. Tasmanian fires have caused over twenty thousand hectares of bushland to be burned out and more than a hundred properties destroyed. NSW isn't the only state affected on the mainland. It's turning out to be another horrific bushfire season.
It was Australia's hottest day since records began over a century ago with the national average at 40.3C. The national temperature is the average of hundreds of daily readings across the country.
Everyone who has a mobile phone in our area received the following text message:
Catastrophic Fire Danger tomorrow for Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Ranges. Not being in a bush fire prone area is the safest option. www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
