I heard about this on the radio this morning, they said that the warm winds were reaching 80 MPH that is simply unbelievable, just imagine a filre getting blown around like that with hot winds.

The winds are bad, but the fires make them worse.

That must be really frightening. Our fire season is usually around the time all the jokers round here want to blow their fireworks for New Year's Eve; many times it's been cancelled because of the super-dry conditions. By March, the earth is parched, all the grass is brown and crispy - beautiful sunny Florida, folks!

I've lived here a long time, and I've NEVER seen the wind blow this hard. It's a little scary.

I've been listening to the radio. The situation is terrible; 250K evacuated so far.
