Hi Ground Crew Family, I pray you are all OK. Today Monday we are still on fire alert as the fires are still burning. We are also trying to find friends in Kinglake. Jane from our general store lost her home and she was in it when it started to burn. They couldn't send the fire trucks in. We could see the fires from the top of our property and they were also at the end of our street. We can still hear the sirens now at 11.30 am and there are still fires close to us so we are on fire alert. Please pray for RAIN RAIN RAIN...
My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones and their homes. And sadly Brian Naylor, Channel 9 newsread and his wife, died in Kinglake and they had fire fighting equipment? Arty and I are trying to figure out how this happened to homes that were fire proofed? Maybe not enough water? Last night at a meeting we heard many stories how sometimes fire has a mind of its own. One story was how one guy was the only one to stay to fight in his street and saw how the fire jumped some houses and turned for others. Another lady said she knew one woman who was really hoping her house WOULD burn for insurance and the fire jumped over her house and burnt every thing else in her street!
We are counting are blessing right now and sending love to all those in Victoria whose lives have changed so much in just a few days. The only good out of this is to see communities join together and people helping and loving each other. The news said there are families homeless in cars with only two jackets, animals lost and sick. Lets helps them....
Love and Rain to all, Pep
