Australian bushfires continue, killing 9 people. The southeastern Victoria will face severe weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds on the 30th local time. The official said the situation will become extremely dangerous.
According to the " Daily Mail " report on December 30, on the 29th, the official evacuated 30,000 tourists and 45,000 residents quickly. Richard Darby, a local retailer, said ignoring the evacuation warning “maybe suicide.” "Tomorrow will be a very bad day, and they are informing everyone to leave when they can leave," said Dabi.
Local traffic artery Prince Highway is in danger and is blocked at the evening of the 29th. Although it was reopened later, it may be completely closed on the 30th. This road is the only evacuation channel in many remote coastal areas.
Emergency Affairs Officer Andrew Crisp said that if the people did not leave in time, they would have to stay where they were on the 30th. "If you haven't left by 9 a.m., you have to stay where you are, because Prince Expressway is likely to have been blocked."
However, in sharp contrast to the official nervousness and threat warnings, local tourists seem very calm, and most choose to stay rather than evacuate.
In the East Gippsland area, although the resort is on the edge of the fire, many people have not left. Michael Smits, who runs the resort, said that out of 67 groups, only 6 left.
"Many people stayed, they would go to the city, go to cafes or beaches, or go to Binhai Road to wander. Panic certainly does not exist," he said.
Some tourists said that if everyone evacuated together, the situation would be worse. "Thirty or forty thousand people squeezed into the Prince expressway , which will cause chaos and accidents. Emergency services cannot be maintained and the road cannot be carried." said a tourist.
