I was wondering just how much of Australia was on fire when I saw that the North, South, West was burning - then I looked again ...

 

NSW = New South Wales, not North, South West

I just heard on the Today show that residents are to evacuate by midday today.

Are you safe Rennie?

 

I can't believe these fires are continuing for so long and causing so much havoc and grief.

There has never been a year where I can't remember a major & intense fire.

Apart from arsonist. The Conservantion and Greenies won't allow for

Any tree cutting. So then we end with a lot of dead wood and loads of fuel for these fires.

Don't get me wrong I am not into clearing forests etc.

But I guess it's another testimony of man trying to manage again.

Hi Lori,

Yes I'm safe. I am not in the affected area, but close. There are many friends living much closer than me  and in the affected zones,

Brother Dennis I guess you know about the 7.2 earthquake in the Philippines in Bohol and Cebu .

There are strong after shocks keeping every one on edge . The friends in the English Congregations despite the earth quake were able to fly out in time to get the English DC in Manila .

Fires , floods, quakes,tornados ,hurricanes has so much of the world in chaos ........be safe friends and make sure you follow the direction from the FS and follow instructions of your local brothers !

Have your emergency kits by the door in case you have to make a run for it .

Be safe Gabe ........were thinking of you .

Thanks friends..

 

 

In all this crazy fires. One Landlord tried to put up his rent. He was reported for taking advantage of the Victims of fire.

The Premier & Fire Chief were teary when discribing this Landlords act. Calling it the lowest of all acts.

I am suprised by our new Prime Minister. Many have thought & even I HMMM!!!! Don't know,

My hat is of to him as he is a Member of the S.E.S>>> He shown getting in & giving a hand with the fire crew..

He was asked why. He said why not somebody has to get in & give a hand.

Despite his security crew  being hesitant...
