Vic BushfiresThis is a discussion on Vic Bushfires within the Australia forums, part of the Regions category; We had our hottest day on record yesterday. 46C+ (115F+)
With it came bushfires. They were a lot closer to Arron than me. I'm sure ...

84 dead and the count is rising.  RIP Well over 600 homes gone.
And some fucking moron's are relighting the fires behind the firefighters.  
Complete towns wiped out. A few of them are on the route Aaron myself and some of the TLZ guys took not long ago, it'll be a few years before those area's look nomal again.

Paul took it, he's the guy from Flowerdale we picked up when we left KLW.
His back yard and fences caught fire, but it left his house alone. Pretty luck seeing as most of Flowerdale got wiped out.

I was watching the start of Sound Relief on Channel V this morning. The destruction is mindblowing. Terrible tragedy.
