The temperature in Mount Gambier is only forecasted to hit 36 but our main concern is the dry lightning and gusty northerlies  :|

True mac13 even though theres nothing on the weatherzone lightning tracker it still looks pretty stormy outside and once the wind change comes in we'll probably see lightning come out of nowhere

Sitting back guzzling rum at about 0200 hrs this morning in the doo there was a fair bit of light work to the south east of town.  I suspect that could of been the cause of the fire on the border this morning.  All quiet now I say its time to get some more rum and worry about it when it happens

Get the rum, hopefully leave others to worry about the fires..
