Yes, it is very bad. Most of Victoria is on fire, right up to Wangaretta. We,in South Australia, have so far been lucky. We are sending a contingent of 50 CFS fire fighters over tonight, hopefully with some cooler weather.It makes me very angry to think that some of these fires have been deliberately lit.Several of the fire bugs have been caught and will be charged with causing deaths.I don't think anyone will go easy on them.It will be interesting to see if the courts can find enough people to form an impartial jury!

They will need to lock them up in a safe place, people have died an awfull death needlessly.

I've just been watching the updates on the fires. Whole towns have been burnt to the ground. 550+ houses. And very sadly 65 people have so far been confirmed dead, many more are missing, they fear the death toll could rise over 100. The firefighters are very brave and doing the best they can.

Yes, just watched the news. It`s pretty bad with the fires in Victoria. So many lives lost. I was living in Victoria many years ago with the Ash Wednesday fires and it was close to our home. Also the floods in North Queensland are just as bad.... The emergency services are doing the best they can...

I have also been watching it on the news The Firebugs deserve to be charged with murder because that is what has happened I do not see what they get out of lighting fires at such a bad time

Oh minnieb,my heart reaches out to your family. These fires must be so hard for them.

watching the news tonight has been heartbreaking, so much death around us. Fire bugs should be charged like terrorists what is the difference between a deliberate fire and a bomb...same result...death!! sorry to be so harsh but I am so upset for all those who are suffering in Victoria.

I am praying for all of you, Fire I think is the worst thing to have around you, floods just as bad, but at least you can breathe and move to higher ground. In South Africa (because of fires being set by uncaring people) there is heavy fines and jail sentences for even those who just shoot sigaret buts out of moving cars. I hope there is the same justice where you are. Hope they are all caught and jailed for life. Praying for your emergency teams, and everybody else too.

Hi Cuties,
So many of you in such dire straights. God knows that my prayers are with you. All we have to worry about right now is a little cold and snow. So far, Praise God, we've had it easy. Please take care and know that God is watching over you and yours.
