The 40,000 ft plume has been compared to an atomic mushroom cloud, and can now be seen from Sydney.
These are the strangest fires ever - no one has no idead what they are doing because they aren't doing what fires normally do. At least the string winds powering the flames are driving the smoke out of the upper mountains into Springwood and the city. Oh yes, the main smoke plume is a concern as it is 40,000 ft high and causing its own weather patterns.These pictures are my own and taken from out the front of my house and on top of a certain tall public building in Katoomba. You can find it more here.
