Catastrophic fire warnings have been issued across South Australia with temperatures set to rise above 40 degrees. Eight districts have been put on alert, including the Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula and the Flinders Ranges. Extreme and severe warnings were in place for the remainder of the state. Strong winds from tropical Cyclone 1 Laurence are expected to fan the flames. It’s still moving inland, bringing widespread destruction to parts of the Pilbara region. It was downgraded to a category one storm overnight and is expected to be downgraded again to a tropical low this afternoon.
