Johanna Griggs shares terrifying video of bushfires raging near her home
Better Homes & Gardens host Johanna Griggs has shared a shocking video of bushfires raging near her home in Wollombi, NSW.
Wollombi is in the Hunter Valley of NSW and has been impacted greatly by bushfires.
According to the NSW Rural Fire Service, there are currently 110 fires burning across the state with 59 not being contained.
Griggs shared the video on her Instagram, saying that it has been a “wild few weeks” for her and her family.
“With fire fronts in 3 directions we prepped for the worst, but thankfully are the lucky ones this time around,” she wrote.
“The first video was from last Tuesday which was definitely the worst day up here for us. The rest of the time it’s been stinking hot and smoky as.”
With a heatwave casted for this week, fans were anxious about her house being okay, but Griggs is confident that they’ll be fine.
“Thanks to everyone who understood why we cancelled all our catch ups and stayed put ‘Just In Case’,” she said.
Griggs also thanked the NSW RFS for their hard work, with over 2,200 personnel fighting the blazes across the state.
“We are so grateful to the @nswrfs and other emergency services for everything they have done, and continue to do. And we’re so sorry for everyone who has had a horrible time during this period. Our hearts break for you and for all the wildlife lost in these horrible fires. It’ll be a long hot summer for sure for all. We hope everyone stays safe.”
