[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 243071, member: 1991"] Death toll now 49, expectedto rise further. They expect over 500 homes gone (total still unknown) and the fires have even been within striking distance to the CBD for Melbourne. This in breaking news, interview with the Vic Premier John Brumby. We've come through the day here, no worries. Victoria is anoter matter. We should be fine, the change should come through in a few hours. That will pretty much ensure we're safe for now here in NSW. Victoria is in trouble for days more, yet. We have strict penalties for firebugs - a fire incurring a death incurs a murder penalty. As husband just said, "Australia is a country where we are used to fires and well prepared for fighting them, perhaps the best-prepared in the world. And we have been overwhelmed." We're about to go for a much-needed swim, taking mother in law. I think she'll need a good soak in the sea to strenghthen her enough to watch the 6 pm news. I know I do. Our summer - we're always scanning the horizon for those smudges of brown... Just heard - death toll now 50. Marg [/QUOTE]
