BURNT TO THE GROUND.. whatever that's left of 500 homes lost at Kinglake
SO... what on earth is happening to this country? Am new to this land, but is this normal at this time of year to see different natural disasters like that happening? Bush fires across VICTORIA state.. the worst it seems, since 1983. The death toll from horrific bushfires across Victoria this weekend has reached
84, surpassing the number of people who perished in the 1983 Ash Wednesday blazes. Temperatures in Melbourne and certain parts went up to as high as 46 degrees celsius!
More than 700 homes have been lost in what is being described as '
Hell on Earth', and it is feared the death toll will pass 100. Twenty-six fires continue to burn across Victoria; 12 of those are out of control. Authorities suspect arsonists are responsible for some fires.
Firemen are battling wildfires in south-eastern Australia that have killed at least 108 people. The area is experiencing one of its worst heatwaves in decades.
The Kinglake Complex blaze continues to burn out of control and so far has burnt through more than 220,000 hectares. Communities around Glenburn, Taggerty and Rubicon are being urged to remain alert for any threats to their homes.
The federal and Victorian governments have set up a Bushfire Relief Fund and $10 million in Centrelink payments for victims.
In QUEENSLAND, they are fighting water instead. Flash floods, and heavy torrential rain in north Queensland has pushed floodwaters at town of Ingham higher..,caused by tropical ex-cyclone Ellie dumped torrential rain across north Queensland. And to make matters worse, farmers fear the rain and floods that have affected two-thirds of Queensland will devastate the beef industry in some regions, while sugarcane growers are also bracing for heavy losses.TENS of thousands of cattle stranded by floods in Queensland have been left to starve because owners cannot drop feed to them and state authorities say they are powerless to act. For sure, beef & milk prices going to shoot up....
NOT GOOD ...hope the smoke and water clears up soon.........it is sorta like 2 tight slaps on the face at the same time... environmentally and economically.
