Always has amazing pictures, I've no idea why. And these are some great shots. Sobering stuff.

This is a normal post You Want To Cry?

Try reading this site I've been running for the last few days.

www.daftdoggy.com/bushfire/Summarysmry.php?grpperpage=ALL

It's a list of people who have been reported as surviving.

As far as the disaster goes, there's no official site where survivors are listed and trying to get through on the phone to the Red Cross (who have lists) is impossible.

Most people who got out have only the clothes they where wearing. Most had lost or forgotten their mobiles and the ones who had them, can't recharge them because they didn't take their chargers with them.

But read those short comments. Amazing stories told in less than 20 words.

Cheers

I didn't really "want" to cry but this list is something else. Thanks for this. Good to see some great use of the internets to bring folks together.

This is a normal post No 16. Best of all the animals.
Seriously though, those alloys are amazing. I have some relatives near the fires and they said that you can see the smoke for an unbelievable distance.

If those fires were started deliberately then the arsonists deserve to be locked in a burning building.

This is a normal post Smoke from big fires will travel several hundred miles
Its really odd being able to smell and see smoke and know that the fires are a seriously long distance away.
