Bushfire nightmare

Due to the weather in Vic hit 48 degree Celsius.. bushfire was just burned out heaps of the homes and forests.. Death toll is over 100 ppl at 10.08pm today..

Fortunately today has had some rains occasionally and the temperature dropped back to 24... it helps a lot but still couldn't cover the sadness of victims who lost their homes, families, precious thingy etc.

Government has a couple of hundred thousands stimulate to help out these victims.. but i believe that's not what they want the most!

What a disaster.... :(
