Can't help but feel that you have made an oblique reference to a similar sign in that lesser known Australian city that also needs a big sign so that people know where they are (posted in recent days - my bolding). :p

Ha ha - no; didn't see that one. While away I can't usually keep up with TTOTT. Amsterdam has a similar one, but cleverer:

Not to mention this strangely economy version:

That's not interesting; that's scary. Hope all under control.

Under control this morning thankfully, with no reports of serious injuries or property damage. My photo was a "small" fire local to us in the Shire, as the Holdsworthy fire moved towards us from behind the camera. But there are multiple fire breaks between there and us, unlike when we first moved here (ie suburbs that didn't exist back then). In the 60s to 80s the biggest threat was fires that started in the firing range and owing to inherent dangers (eg unexploded ordinance) we just had to wait until they emerged when we usually had a raging inferno. These days the various water bombers can get to those and help reduce the intensity.
 
The sound from my office

Scene: Panama City (PTY) departure lounge 7A, at the end of an otherwise deserted concourse (hard - ie non carpeted floor). We are in the roped off departure lounge, having been secondary screened for US arrivals.

Lady comes striding down the concourse, looking upset but not too distressed, calling "I just need some one to help me! I need some assistance!" She is loud and it sounds very loud in the concourse.

A lounge attended went over, but got waved away "YOU can't help me. I need THEM to help me" Points to the agents on the gate, behind the roped off area. "But I can't reach them!".

Guy goes over to see her. A quick chat and she appears to be helped.

She strides away, and called really loudly - yelling - to someone up the concourse "Richard! I told you we were in the wrong place! Don't you ever, EVER do that again ..."

Poor Richard. I don't think his life will be worth living.
 
The fire has flared again as the wind is gusting. This view is looking from a high point, over our place (hidden in the trees) towards the fire at around 11:45am.

Well here we are at the gate for the QR flight. DFW-DOH, 5 mins after boarding time. The crew are just arriving. They obviously knew there was a delay, but of course the airline didn't bother to tell the pax ( even those in the QR lounge).
