I just rang an oldschool low key gfyer near the affected area today, he and his family are safe thankfully, but one of his extended family members was in the very worst area. I hope he's ok. It's hard to fathom the stories coming out atm, fathers who could only save one child while the rest burnt.. whole families cremated in their cars.. and to see the deathtoll jump from 20 to what they're saying will be closer to 200.. It's currently as bad as two previous worst fires put together. Everyone seems to have really underestimated the conditions. Even discounting the deaths it's not a normal bushfire, it's the hottest on record and it was cyclonically windy. A combination of the worst kind..
