Victorian Bush Fires.

Mon Feb 9, 2009, 12:56 AM
  • Mood: It's Hot
To all of the Deviant viewers from over seas,as you sit in front of your fire and watch the snow fall please think about Victoria for a moment.

on Saturday 7th o f February, it was the hottest day in record in victoria, a whopping 47 Degrees (116 F). As you would know, that type of heat, added with our intense drought of like 8 years and those bloody arsonists, 31 major bush fires came alight all over the state, so far at least 150 people are dead, 5000 homes detroyed in the flames and 330,000 hectares of property. towns like Kinglake, Marysville arent on the map anymore, fires are still roaring and how many have not survived the fires is still rising and we wont get a whole number for at least another couple of weeks.

these strong winds blowing the fire wouldnt let you have a chance against them, and many vistorians died staying and trying to protect their homes. Although i was very lucky to not be pyshically effected by these fires, we could have askinglake is only 10 minutes away by car, and we all know someone who's life has been lost becuse of this tragic event.

so please, do read up on it, watch some videos and donate to help all the families without homes, and for people who have lost their whole families.
