I talked with my cousin Iggy last night. The fires in his state (Victoria) have now claimed over 200 people. He is in a spot where the fires haven't reached but he is extremely alert.
My other cousin however, who lives in "the woods and canyons" part of the state, has had to evacuate. They had to grab their most important possesions and flee. The were able to come back today and have been busy being vigilant, and clearing the brush and anything burnable around their house.
They personally know many people who didn't make it out.
She described it as Hell on Earth.
My mom called yesterday, concerned for them, as well as her sister, my aunt. But she is in a relatively safe place, in a town, and probably hasn't got a clue as to what's going on.
My cousin's ex-wife keeps fighting her battle with cancer. The doctors are amazed she is still with us.
My thoughts are with that part of my family today and the days to come.
I hope anyone who reads my blog will keep these loved ones of mine in your thoughts, and wish them safety, and keep them from harm.
SGMKJ!
