Victoria Bushfires

February 10th, 2009 at 08:39 pm

Last Saturday the temperature in Victoria got to 46.4C in Melbourne, with 90km hot dry winds, with total fire ban. Then the country side became a fireball after 10 years of drought in Victoria. One fire controller said that normally fires are rated on 1 to 100 scale but this fire was 320 in scale.

I am been overwhelm with tragedy in country Victoria that I have been watching for days now. Today I made an effort to get the bank to make a deposit for these victims of these Bushfires. I also donated to the Queensland flood victims and some of them are planning to donate they hand outs (our government is giving one off payments to all natural disaster victims) to the Victoria Bushfires Appeal who think they need in more. Some flood victims have been flooded twice in one week may get flood again next week too!

    I've been watching the news about your fires. It is tragic, and my prayers go out to those who have lost family and friends, and to those who have lost their homes.

    Wow, we've been hearing a lot of amazing stories especially from the Canadian press. Is there any chance we in the United States can donate?
