7.2.09

Today was the hottest day on record in Melbourne and also our most tragic. Bushfires raged out of control all over the State. A lot of them are not too far from us (around 25-40 minutes away) and have totally devastated towns and communities. At the time of typing (Wed 11th) there were 181 people dead. That is unbelievable sad.
There are just no words to sum up how overwhelming this is. Such a tragic tragic day.
I didn't take any photos today but have found a couple on the net. One is of Marysville - a little town about 1/2 hour away from us. There is absolutely nothing left!!
My thoughts and prayers are with all those involved and affected.
