Archive: 11 posts


Thoughts go out to any forum members from Victoria caught up in this tragedy.

14 people confirmed killed so far, news of over 40 suspected dead, they are saying hundreds of homes lost with fires still burning.

This pic was taken by a member of another forum I visit at around 2PM this afternoon, that is ash falling not snow.

Latest news is 128 confirmed dead with it expected to go higher, over 750 homes so far destroyed, with an entire town Marysville burnt to the ground, devastating news coming in every hour on the various news channels.

There is a lot more info here (http://www.abc.net.au/news/events/bushfires/) with images and a map showing where the fires took place etc as well as a live radio feed from ABC news on the tragedy.

My friends school burnt down and most of his house. My best friends grandparents' house is in trouble too :[. The fires around here are getting way too close to my area to feel completely safe. I actually had to evacuate when I was out with a friend (I was with him at his grandparents house).

Oh, you posted quozl. My friends school was in marysville and his house near it...

Are you in this with me too Quozl?

No mate I'm in Queensland, Brisbane, so same distance away from the floods up north and the fires down south in Victoria.

I guess they can use the money from the economic stimulus package to rebuild everyone's homes in VIC and QLD now instead of handing out to people to waste on the pokies
