I am so thankful that you and your family are Ok, and that your house is Ok.
The first year I lived in Australia there was a similar (though much smaller scale) incident in the city we were in. It is a terrifying thing to have a wall of fire headed towards your community. I hope you get rain to help contain the fires and that your family continues to be out of harm’s way.
Yikes, that is scary! All has happened so fast it is crazy!
