Greatest fire risk since ash wednesday

Please wish us luck in Melbourne for Tomorrow, In 1983 we had a massive fire that cost 75 lives and 100's of homes. Our forcast is 43 celcius and extreme winds. Our fire authority has put out a warning that this is the worst conditions since that terrible day. I was 12 at the time and everywhere you looked there was ash, smoke and the skies were orange, I am very nervous. We will be unrugging, plaiting horses tails today and making sure every horse is in the safest paddock possible.

Its stopped raining now, but the ground is nicely soaked. I don't think we have had this much rain for a couple of months. Its actually cool outside. I am going to have to get my poodles coats out, I have kept them stripped short all summer and the poor babies were shivering when they went out this morning. YAY!!!
