We are alive and well. City folk are pretty shielded from the fires. It is the people who live on the fringes of the city, where it meet the bush, that bear most of the brunt.
The depressing thing is that, even though the weather is cooler, the fires continue to burn as the countryside is so dry.

I could not tear myself away from the TV this morning, it's so sad, scary and depressing! When the journalist started to cry with the people I lost it too. We all here feel for those poor people, what a tragidy. Our hot weather is coming this week we hear.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.
All of you down there are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Be safe and well, my bloggy friend.
ReplyDeleteI heard about it too. I wish things will get better soon. Relieved that you guys are not affected. My grass gets drier too nowadays. It's hard to tell what's going on in today's world..the weather is so unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. This is a terrible thing. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeletethinking of you and your comrades. we saw a lot of coverage this morning on CNN. scary stuff. in many ways it reminded me of the california wildfires which seemed to go on forever. so glad to learn you and your family are fine. so much devastation - so sad to witness. stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw that on TV too here in india..
ReplyDeleteI did think of you....
And this morning I see this on your blog!
damn heat...!
Good to hear you are okay. Nasty stuff and it looks as bad as anything we have had here in California.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything will be better.
ReplyDeleteRead in the papers today that they suspect it could be the work of arsonists.
I hope it's the work of mother nature because I just can't accept the fact that there are stupid living creatures that call themselves human beings out there.
I have been waiting to read this on your blog. With the temperature rising I guessed that you must be close to this catastrophy. Take care..BW Blu

ReplyDeleteDear Lee, keep looking after yourselves, and anyone else you can.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're OK, it's so awful...
ReplyDeleteIt really is heart-breaking news. Glad to hear you are OK.
ReplyDeleteWe've heard reports here that some of the fires may be arson. I really hope not!
Happy to hear you are safe - what devastation for those that weren't and aren't.
ReplyDeleteLee dear I'm so pleased that you and your family are safe. ♥
ReplyDeleteI have been watching the news reports on TV, it is such a disaster of huge proportions, the fires are so widespread, terrible that so many lives have been lost and more people unaccounted for.
Animals and stock as well.
What a feeling of helplessness for those who have lost everything, it would be so difficult to start all over again, what a hard future they have ahead of them, so very sad. ♥
glad that you guys are ok.
ReplyDeleteGlad you and yours are safe. Stunning images, I only hope you didn't take them?
ReplyDeleteWatched the news coverage last night, it was devastating : (
ReplyDeleteEspecially when you hear the word arsonist : (
Pouring rain is much needed in places still in flames.
Glad to know you and your family are safe. What a devastating act.
ReplyDeleteVery, very sad to hear the stories on the news, thoughts are with all those affected by the fires, including the crews battling, the rescue personnel, the volunteers. It's hard to imagine the speed with which these fires have been moving.
ReplyDeleteSo sad.
Take care.
