Victoria is on Fire! The newspaper said "Australia has Witnessed its greatest natural disaster. Only in wartime has the toll of dead and wounded been greater." So far they have found 135 people dead and expect to find at least a hundred more. It was the hottest day in the history of Victoria when the fire started. It has been in the hundreds. It rained a little the other day and the heat has dropped. The winds were strong and drove the fires so fast the people could not get out. People didn't even know the fire was coming their way in some instances. Whole towns have been burned down. These areas have lots of trees.
North Queensland has been having flooding and lost lots of livestock, farms, homes, etc.
New South Wales has fires also but not near us and not as bad. This 100 plus temp. is awful.

I was reading about those fires. Very scary.
It looks awful - hope you aren't near there.
Everyone is in our prayers.
We have been watching on the news. I have been worried about you. I am so sorry.How far are they from you? Our prayers are with you and the people of Australia.
Much love, Lura
We have been keeping track of the fires and other troubles there. Riley has been a great resource as to where the fires are and you are. It helps ease our mind. He said you may be getting some smoke. Have you? You and the people there are in our prayers here. After hearing about the temps there I have not complained as much about our cold here.
