Catastrophic Fires in Australia

The woman I work with is safe. She did have to evacuate but her home is okay but still in the danger area. The news is good for our town as the fire presently is moving south so in the opposite direction to our town and it is heading into areas that are very sparsely populated.
I thought I would share the update on our Rural Fire Service website:

A bush fire is burning near Bungawalbin, New Italy and The Gap. The fire is more than 5,200 hectares and is out of control.


Current Situation

  • The fire in burning in the area of Bungawalbin and Yellow Creek.
  • Northerly winds are pushing the fire south towards New Italy, Donaldson, and Doubleduke State Forest.
  • The Pacific Highway is open, but visibility may be reduced due to smoke. Stay up to date with Live Traffic NSW.

Praying again today- and agreeing with @gonewiththewind. I believe strongly in the power of agreement.
I also saw a report from USA today that precious Koalas are being lost! :cry Hugs to you, Annemarie :hugalong with the prayers.
 
It has been a very hot and windy day today so the fire south of us is still out of control but still heading away from our town.
Sadly yesterday a 4th death caused during this fire season was discovered. This happened further south in our state.
 
This weekend looks terrible with temperatures in the mid 40's moving across the country. (mid 40's is 113 F) and of course we are still in Spring. Smoke in the air for days here but we are lucky. Fire has been in distance. Keeping our fingers crossed.
