Fires & Prayers

Over the weekend, Victoria suffered her worst ever bushfire disaster in Australian history. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd described it as “hell in all its fury”, but gave warning that the number of dead was expected to climb higher than the 181 confirmed now.

Authorities said more destruction is inevitable as more than 20 fires are still burning in the state.


There are almost 200 people dead, almost 800 homes destroyed, and 5000 people homeless.
Entire towns have been wiped off the map, with aerial images of the region showing an eerie moonscape of blackened earth and collapsed homes where fields and communities used to stand.

My heart breaks.

With strong winds and temperatures soaring to 47C (116F), fire storms swept through small towns and country properties, wiping out everything in their path in only minutes.

While disaster continue to strike, destroying livelihoods and wiping out homes, true unsung heroes continue to save not only men, but creatures of the wild too. It's not only our homes that are destroyed.

bravo to you
