That is fucked. What a mess.

 

Oh wow

 

wow, so sad

 

They said it will be over 200 people confirmed dead today.Wonder what the asshole that started some of the fires are thinking right now.

 

the horse!!!

 

So so so sad

 

Thats the worst way to go IMO, getting burned to death. RIP

Photo's were really well taken, that is a lot destruction.

 

I would hope that the victims of the fire were overcome by smoke and did not have to go through the horror of being burned alive.

 

I shouldn't have clicked on the horse. So sad.

 

That sucks mate

 

just amazing

 

brutal

 

Most don't actually burn to death, usually and fortunately(if you can call it fortunate) the smoke gets to them first.

 

good call

 

That's so horrible. I can't believe someone would even ever think of starting a fire, especially in that heat.

 

The whole thing is so devastating.

I did see this picture today which is a little more happy, but the whole situation is just so terrible.

 

I live with about 300 Aussie's here and its crazy what is going on down there. They have severe flooding in Queensland and then fires in Victoria. My roomie said that over 750 houses have burned down

 

I got this email from a coworker the other day. It's in her sister's coworker's backyard. Obviously they live in Australia.

 

That's awesome! Did she give it a bar of soap and a towel?

 

Australia has some neat looking Baja capable fire trucks.

 

That is so adorable
