Exciting afternoon! 140km/h winds plus wildfires = frightening times! Places within ten minutes of me were being evacuated at one point, and Gwennie and me were packed up and ready to hit the road if it got any worse. They set up a road barricade that I could see from my window and everything.

This isn't my video, but this was essentially what I was seeing from my balcony too:
