Hi Katherine,


Thanks for your concern - the need for water has got a whole lot more important 
in the last 24 hours.

Melbourne hit 49 degrees yesterday and the worst bush fires ever.  I've never 
experience heat like that - you actually felt like your skin was burning - like 
a hot hair dryer in your face drying your eyes.  

And then the wind - unbelievable.

The fires have been raging all day - 86 dead - the closest front to my home is 
10K away - friends I know have evacuated  - a whole town (near where I took my 
boys camping two weeks ago) - has gone - completely burnt to the ground - scary 
stuff.

I never thought we'd be so close to it - but the whole area is now on "ember" 
alert - no sleep tonight I fear - car is ready for a swift get away...

Regards
Andy

Being an athiest, at least I'll know if I'm wrong.
