That's so scary, red. I hope everything will be okay with her.
Are all our Victorian Specktra members ok? Bushfires are scary...

OMG, Issy I am so sorry to hear that
The whole thing is just frightening, and I am sure the people directly involved were, and maybe still are, terrified
My heart goes out to anyone involved with, or those who have friend/family caught up with, these fires. I had an email this morning from another breeding friend in mornington - she is an ex cat breeder and is taking in peoples cats from the fires to her old catteries - she was asking for donations** to help feed and care them now until their families can take them back. If anyone here is in or around mornington and wants to help please PM me, I would be more than happy to pass some details on.
**NOT money - cat food and litter

thanks all... still no news on the friend's hubby... and the other i haven't heard from all day, but i am guessing she's taking this chance to take things a little easier while they aren't under direct threat.

My heart goes out to all of those affected by the bush fires. I'm shopping at coles tonight to try and raise some more money (hopefully).

Oh my goodness, I am just so sorry
This isnt good news either
So many people have lost family and friends....
I got an email tonight from my girlfriend down there, apparently there are a few more fires nearer to her now despite things settling down elsewhere and she is quite worried. Is anyone here near Baxter or around the Mornington Peninsula? I am worried for her
