They are saying that there is 180 confirmed deaths at this time with the likely hood of it reaching 300.
Some of these fires have been deliberately lit and I hope they catch the SOB's as it is tantamount to MURDER.
There are times I am sorry they did away with Capital punishment.
Thanks for your prayers and kind thoughts. The poor souls affected by all this need them.
As a side note, my mother and sister live no more than 20 km away from some of these in the town of Seymour and have been put on alert.
We can only hope that the weather changes for the benefit of all concerned and eases the pressures that have been put on them.
The greenies (one of the political parties here in Aus) also have to bear some of the responsibilities for all this. They have prevented the back burning of the dead fall and this has also contributed to the firestorms that have resulted. I had better get off that soap box as it is a pet of mine and could get me into trouble.
Thanks to all for the concern.
Regards
