    oh dear



    I don't know how to describe how I felt last night when I watched the reports about the Vic bushfires. It's overwhelming to know that whole communities have been wiped out. The stories i'm reading today are both amazing & sad.

    Aussies are normally well prepared for bushfire season but from what i've heard, the fires were just too ferocious for most to even try and contain.

    Jaydee, Trekhawk & other aussie ladies-do you remember " Black friday http://www.abc.net.au/blackfriday/home/default.htm" and " ash wednesday http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Wednesday_fires"??

    No words for this - just overwhelming sadness.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    Hello all of you TEr's down under. Our news media has been giving a lot of coverage to the Victoria fires. It is so sad. Those of us here in Southern California can identify. We have had massive fires over the past couple of years with tremendous losses, although not the loss of life you are experiencing. Take care and stay safe!!
