This is footage from the 3rd of Janurary, Kangaroo Island which was totally consumed by one of the many firestorms that affected Australia since September 2019, and many still on going in New South Wales and Victoria (some of which were active on the 3rd and still going).

The wind seen in this video was entirely produced by the firestorm.

cw for the video: Disaster Footage, and Swearing.

While this was published mid last year, and is describing smaller wildfire events this is very applicable to the current Australian Fire Crisis.

Usually one wouldn't want a Tropical Cyclone making landfall but the currently Developing 🌀 Tropical Depression/Low 02U in the Timor Sea might actually be what Australia needs, while yes it would cause damage even at Severe Tropical Storm strength (Category 2 Tropical Cyclone ATCS, 50+kts wind) which is the current forecast landfall intensity, but some of those same models have the remnants move down over South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales which may wet things up enough to make the fires more managable, 🌀 Tropical Depression/low 03U is also expected to develop into a Tropical Cyclone too, it may even be more intense at landfall but it too may contribute to rainfall across Australia.
