Things have gotten very nasty in the last 12 hours or so. Up to 100 homes burnt to the ground in Tasmania alone (many "towns" have populations of just a few hundred people to start with) and at least one death.
A weather station in the worst fire zone recorded the following yesterday - 4.00 pm - 38 C (100F), 4.20 pm - 54.9 C (131F). That's the hell the fire fighters are having to deal with hour after hour.
