So far only one life has been lost (one too many) A man who stayed to defend his home had a heart attack. Can you believe that low life looters have been through but thankfully the police caught some of them. There was a team of them.
Major General Stretton had the right idea after Cyclone Tracey hit Darwin. He said any looters would be shot on sight. How these low lifes can do this to people who are already devastated is beyond me.
Prayers going out to those who have lost there homes and also all the brave firefighters and police. We lived in South Australia when Ash Wednesday happened. We were miles away but could smell the smoke for days after.

Praying for all of you in the way of these awful fires. We can have them bad here, Colorado and Cal. seem to be the worst hit sometimes, so will pray for all of you in harms way.

As a Southern Californian I understand what you are going through. I hope you, family and friends are left unscathed by this latest fire storm.

Seems most of us have some "fire" experience. And we all know how devastating it can be. So sorry for all of you in harms way. We will pray for rain for you all, and that this will soon be in the past. God bless you all.

I, too, have a daughter in Grose Vale, NSW at the foot of the Blue Mountains. Haven't heard if the fires are close to them.

My aunt and uncle live in the Blue Mountains in Springwood. They are currently here in USA visiting and get reports from the older children , which doesn't seem to promising. They say there is a possibility of 3 fires meeting on Wed there which could really devastate the Blue Mountains Springwood area for sure. They are on pins and needles here waiting to here from family daily. Prayers go to all in Au, hope they are safe.

I have a friend in Mildura, Victoria I haven't heard from. It looks like her area is fine but she was visiting and her Sisters live maybe in Melbourne. Now I'm worried.
