Members milo91 Posted February 10, 2009 Members Share Posted February 10, 2009 Just wondering if most of you guys on this forum from overseas have heard of the Victorian Bushfires that has killed something like 173 people and they are expecting it to hit up to 250 our worst bushfires on record i believe has it been on the news in America because President Obama i think rang our PM n offered help or something.

Members Carpathian Posted February 10, 2009 Members Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have heard about it on talk radio and also the tonight show w/ Jay Leno just minutes ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that have been affected. Horrible to hear such a tragedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members twosticks Posted February 10, 2009 Members Share Posted February 10, 2009 On radio and on cable news. About a year ago had big wildfire here. North Florida. We were evacuated from our home. Luckily they were able to contain mostly into the nearby forrest. Hazy and smokey here and ashes were like a dusting of snow. Hope you are doing well. Take care and be safe. My prayers and thoughts are with you. IS so sad to hear of destruction. Be safe and God's speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes to all Victorians (there's maybe.... one other one on this site somewhere...?) there really is some crazy {censored} happening in the land of Ozim not really that close to the fires luckily, i live in wheelers hill near glen waverley. probably bout 30-40 minutes away from some of the fires.i really do hope they find those arsonists, i hope they burn in hell. some of the stories are horrendous,for instance, my mum was telling me A father and his two kids were about to leave their house in their car when the dad went back to get something and wasn't gone long at all to find that his car was burning and his two kids had died honestly, that is just so scary n sad but there are so many stories like that.thanks for the concern guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wmcutter Posted February 11, 2009 Members Share Posted February 11, 2009 My heart goes out to all you folks in Australia. Been watching it on TV. Terrible disasters. Living in California, I've been around several wildfires and some flooding but nothing as bad as what's happening there. I could have been down there with you. I investigated moving to Australia when I graduated from college years ago. At that time, the Australian government would pay a one way fare if you had skills they wanted. Was ready to pack my bags but my wife didn't want to move that far from her family. Broke my heart. I really wanted to move there. My family's prayers are with all of the people Down Under. Be safe. Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted February 11, 2009 Members Share Posted February 11, 2009 I lived in Aus for a year and have good friends in Melbourne.......I remember a flight from Melbourne to Sydney and as we were descending the pilot says "don't worry about any smoke in the cabin...it's just the bush fires.." Also I remember driving through the Northern Territory and seeing many small (but big enough!) bush fires along the side of the highway...virtually on both sides of the car....I made sure to step on the gas through those areas let me tell you... Those things move {censored}in fast..... Seems like every year it gets worse there.....drought, bush fires and floods up north....crazy... Such a gorgeous country...I miss it a lot.
