This thing is really moving. The first report I saw of it at around 9PM had it at 50 hectares. Less than 4 hours later and its up over 300. And it seems it's only been burning for about 12 hours total.
Given the weather forecast for the next month, it's going to take a prolonged easterly wind to blow this into the lake in order for this thing not to get massive. Unfortunately it looks like the waterbombers don't fly at night. I wonder how big this'll be by the time they take off again at 5 am.
