I had the most amazing shot in mind for day 999 but .... Humbug Scrub caught fire.

At first I thought the billowing white cloud above Adelaide was some strange storm cloud but soon it became apparent it was anything but natural.

Today was hot, 44degC hot, and all morning the catastrophic fire warnings were being repeated for all of the Adelaide Hills. For Hills dwellers a fire like this is always on theirs minds during our summer and today the worst appears to have happened.

I've not heard of any injuries to people so far and I hope it stays that way while fire crews do their best to bring it under control.

Just to put some perspective on this bushfire, this image was taken from Rapid Bay Jetty, nearly 100km away to the South.
