Are all our Victorian Specktra members ok? Bushfires are scary...

Back in Melbourne and I can smell the smoke in Richmond. It makes me so sad

It is hella smokey outside tonight, worse so than it has been the past few days

the kinglake fires were only about 10-15 minutes from bf's place, very scary stuff indeed. I hope everyone stays safe.

It's been devastating, six degrees etc everyone knows someone affected. It is touching to see how kind and generous so many people can be though.

When is this ever going to end? My friend who lives near the mountain has evacuated since last week. Today he was thinking about going back home and fight the fire, but we convinced him to stay away!

Lots of smoke in my town tonight, there was a fire warning for towns about an hour away (I'm in regional Vic) but no threat here. I'm really shaken over these fires, it feels so surreal. I'm just devastated for all these people, I can't believe it's happened.

It was crazy here yesterday! My work is at the busy intersection and I could hear fire trucks flying by all day long! Then hubby rang me up to let me know that there was a fire near us.. I live/work near the mountain and the smoke was just unbearable, plus the main road was jammed with people hurrying home to grab kids and belongings. Luckily the weather has cooled down today, but Friday is going to hit high 30s and I am not looking forward to it!

And just when we thought things were starting to settle down a little

Hope you guys are all Ok, will be keeping my fingers crossed that Friday is more temperate than predicted! XXX

I hope your doing fine samibabe!
We had another fire near our place, but lucky it was a bit further away (its about a 5 min drive to where it was). You could hear the helicopters and everything. 2 of my cousins decided to evacuate their families from their homes because it was getting close, but they safe which is the main thing.
I just hope these fires will be out soon!
