Obviously the topic of the King Lake bushfires have been hot on everyone's tongues of late and I have been the little voice reminding people that the region that went up is NOT one of the top 3 bushfire threat areas in the world. I have mused over the fact that the Mount Dandenong area has not gone up...
...well, that was until today.
My parents are on their way home right now, from a memorial service for a family member (fake family) and his family who were taken by the King Lake fires...and I heard on the radio that Upwey and Tecoma have been evacuated. I rang Dad (I knew that it was Mum driving) and told him to call me when they got home...that was 2 hours ago.
they should be home by now.
I am taking deep breaths and trying so hard not to panic. but its so hard.
Who do we, the masses pray to, when it is so fucking obvious that there is no God?????
Just let them get out safely. Let them rescue their pets and just get OUT OF THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
