💨 Abstract

Uncontrolled bushfires in Victoria, Australia, have forced evacuations and prompted a "catastrophic" fire danger rating for Friday. Two large fires near Longwood and Walwa have destroyed structures and are expected to spread due to high temperatures and winds. The Longwood fire covers over 25,000 hectares, while the Walwa fire has created its own weather system. Schools and train services will be affected, and a total fire ban is in place.
