Burning in Melbourne

On what they called the Black Saturday, temperatures rising up to 48 degrees Celsius in Victoria, the same day the bushfires started, and nothing more to do but take a bath on the beach in Melbourne. High winds and hot weather, beside the drought that kept the area for many months, all too many of ominous signs in many of the fire danger zones across the state and over all of the global climate change. A HOT DAY: On February, 7th, 2009= 2+7=9 and 2009=11, which equals 9/11, the hottest someone could get, to never forget...


Up to now the fire consumed a large part of the native forest, and the bushfires are still devastating the area, as the wind grows stronger and the high temperatures still remaining, making it impossible for the firefighters to just act in the whole region. It's just sad that there is not much we can do but pray that rain will finally come on the way.
