Yikes, poor you. We were on tornado warning a couple of week-ends ago, and there were some risky signs nearby. It's scary. Iota’s last blog post..Shadowy Husband

Jeez. Bit of a strange comment by hubby. I know what you mean. I think this comes from being a mother, frankly, that sort of comment is just SO not funny, but they dont get it. I'm also Australian, and our bushfires recently made us all take that stuff a bit more seriously. Hope everything went ok... screamish’s last blog post..blogging holiday

Hope the worst doesn't happen. I can't imagine what it must feel like to pack like that: i have just spent the past week packing our house up. nappyvalleygirl’s last blog post..Visas, vivas, weddings and Wallace & Gromit

It's like being on red alert - move if necessary. Not fun. I've been caught up in a few similar things myself.....and lucky to escape with the clothes on my back. Hang in there, it might not happen. Thinking of you. x Rebel Mother’s last blog post..Thank You

That is not a way to live. But I've been there. I grew up in the perpetually drought state of Texas, where all summer was a series of brush fires. We'd take the highway into town and the sides of the road would be smouldering, and we'd watch things catch on fire. Five or six houses would go up at a time, and we'd all hold our breaths. NOT fun, but eventually you just sort of get used to it. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you and your house, because we all know that irrational superstition is just what we need at a time like this.

Its funny how people react to things – I would have guessed at your husband being conservative and cautious and you being more in the spirit of adventure.
I hope (of course) that the fire does not harm your house (or others). I have a friend who is an artist and his parents house was burned in the tea garden fire and a lot of his art works were destroyed. But the people he loves were okay.

Crikey - poor you. I have no idea what I'd pack if I had to leave the house in a hurry. I'd probably spend far too long dithering and get burnt alive. Here's hoping you can stay put (at least until your little trip to London)! Maternal Tales’s last blog post..Responsibilities and head wounds (again)!

I hope you're still home and that your husband was (galling though it is to admit the possibility) right... Although,if it does come to the worst, at least you can comfort yourself with the thought that might you not actually say 'I told you so' just yet, it's always there as ammo for the future.

Hang in there (not necessarily literally). You are showing great restraint, I would be tempted to leave without husband myself. Keep safe, 'stuff' is only in the end 'stuff', you and your family are infinitely more important. Thinking of you. x Late developer’s last blog post..Farewell Pit of Gloom. You won't be missed.
