Of all the "natural disasters" that occur I fear fire the most.
My, and I'm sure all Stromtrooper's, heart goes out to the people of Tasmania, and especially our fellow 'trooper friends.

I should have added all the people across our great nation that may be in dire straits

And from me.

Brings back memories of the bushfires down in Victoria all over again.

"Normal" is only a cycle on the washing machine.....

If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.

And from me.
Fire is seriously scary s#@t

44 in the shade out the back today and a full week of it to go,the poor buggers in Tassie I too feel for them--glad to see BB63 is home and hosed that was a big loop he took on,take care lads.

+1 stay safe everyone

I can't really imagine the sense of loss Don, that those who are now homeless and possession less, must feel. I do not know how I could start all over again now at my age. The old body couldn't do it.
When the appeals are launched we all dig deep to help those in need. That adds some help for material things, but for the others? That's tough, really tough!
Good post Don.

Saturn 5

The story of the Holmes grandparents, near Dunalley, sheltering under a jetty with their five grandchildren while the bush and their home burned is incredible and inspiring.

Stay safe friends.
