Australain Fire Disaster - Update...

There is not a lot I can say, except that our firefighters (30,000) are struggling to keep up the battle against the fires. There are 26 fires across the state of Victoria and I don't know how many in the state of New South Wales. The death toll has risen to 108 and there are towns that have not been investigated yet. Two towns that I know of in Victoria have been completely burnt out, towns that were well over 100 years old.

If your praying people, please pray for our firefighters and the survivors. It appears that at least two of these fires were started deliberately.
