My heart goes out to everyone affected by the bushfires in Victoria, Australia. I hope everything turns out okay.

So far we're okay, my cousin lost her house in Wandong but they got out, so we're lucky. The death toll just hit 96 including a former newsreader from Channel Nine. I'm just stunned. Brian Naylor had been Nine's news anchor for 20 year before he retired.

I hadn't even known anything was happening in that area... I'll remember them in my prayers now, thanks for shouting the news out.

Welcome. It was my flist that alerted me to it, too. I don't even watch the news.

zalein February 9 2009, 15:41:02 UTC

I don't watch it either--hence why I'm glad you alerted me like you were alerted.
