Default My Heart goes out to our Austrailian Friends

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7klZ3_F6ekI

Its so sad, Just seen here in the News 130+ people dead in the Bushfires in Austrailia, apparently it was started delibrately, Lets hope the Police catch them first

Last night i was helping a guy with his menu's in the mod thread and he was from victoria, and keeping an eye on where the bushfire was spreading to.

Then i saw on the news the sheer scale of the problem, and how people, whole families where left with nothing.

I really hope they stop it spreading and My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones.

Take care Guy's :up:

I feel for them. Living in Southern California, we experience fires like this every year. While I don't personally live in a "Burn Zone", my wife works in one and I have family that live in them. We track the weather very carefully and in the fall we track the fires that move through the forests.

Keep in mind that only some of the fires were lit by firebugs. Many of them were/are natural disasters.

Luckily, I am at least a hundred km's away from those fires. My thoughts go out to the families that have been affected, as well as to those firefighters spending hours out there.

I was going to say that earlier. Still, why anyone would want to create havoc amongst many communities by intentionally lighting fires is damn right evil. Many families lives ruined and in some cases wiped out completely, disgusting.

As was described perfectly by our Prime Minister: "There can do no other words to describe the arsonists, this is mass murder."
