I know that everyone is going through some hardships at the moment but I would like to put out a thought to some remarkable people.
Currently with this odd weather we are having in Australia at the moment we have one state that is 60% under water due to floods. They have experienced a major down fall in rain, which is very odd for this time of year over here.
Then today in Victoria it has been the hottest day in 100 years, and the windiest day in 30 years. With those two combinations we are experience major bushfires. In one suburb alone, (as of 11 pm Saturday night), 14 people have died, and the authorities suspect it will go even higher once the fires are under control and the emergency services start the task of sifting through the devastations.
My suburb has been put on alert. So I have the cars pack of the essentials. My train of thought is too get out and save my life as well as my families life, instead of staying and trying to save my home. It is all material and can be replaced. A life can never be replaced.
So I would like to send out a special thought to all the emergency workers, the fire brigade, the country fire authority, the state emergency service, the police and anyone else who are out there risking their own life to keep us safe.
Thank you to all the brave men and women.
