Today is a National Day of Mourning for those lost in the Victorian Bushfires. Memorial services have been held all over the country.
The publicity may have died down a bit, but it’s not over. There are fires still blazing (some have been burning continuously for more than 2 weeks), homes and property threatened and evacuation plans in place. With more heat and strong north winds forecast for this week (‘perfect’ bushfire conditions) there are still a lot of people facing a difficult times.
I was away and didn't see the services on TV but a friend told me the most heartbreaking thing was the roll call of photos of those who had passed away...many of them children...
ReplyDeleteSo many still missing and fires still raging...what a terrible tragedy.
I know, it's just awful. I'm sure the world doesn't know that it's still going on. Looks like tomorrow is going to be a bad day.
