    Fires still raging.

    This is not a question,just an update.This morning on the news I saw a grown man crying.He was a fire fighter who lost his own property to the fire while he was fighting fires.The small western NSW town of Coonabarbran is the centre of some of the worst fires yet.33 propeties have been lost so far.It's put me in a bad mood today.I can't get it out of my mind.

    This is really bad. I saw an elderly couple in the water holding on to theire 5 grandchildren for 4 hours, while all theire property  burned down. Many people have lost everything they owned. Hopefully there is some end in sight. What a tragedy. I pray for you all.

    tragedy. So bad. I wish everyone involved the best. There’s just been too much pain and loss.

    I hope you are safe tommyh! Mother Nature is cruel and there is just not much to do but hope and pray!  Keep us updated and I am sorry I can not help with any thing right now!

    That's OK Clu.There's not much anyone can do except get the hell out of the way when the fire is coming.From the reports that are coming thru It approaches from all sides.360 degrees and houses are going up like spontaneous combustion.Exploding into flames.

    It's terribly sad!  I will keep you Aussies and the wildlife in my prayers!
