Unvarnished truths being spoken in the age of climate catastrophes.

"VicEmergency told folks in nearly 50 properties “the extreme heat is likely to kill you well before the flames reach you” and to take shelter."

Quoted in Crikey Worm this morning.
reporting on residents of two Victorian towns being told it was too late to evacuate from areas threatened by bushfires. 😦

Stay safe, peeps.
